No major Islanders news from Wednesday other than the announcement that there will be news on Thursday: Mathieu Darche meets the press at 11 a.m. EDT on Thursday, a week after his hiring was announced and after he’s gotten his bearings and spoken with a few season ticket holders.
Personally, maybe the glow of the hire is still blinding me, but I like how they’ve handled this: hiring secured and confirmed before the U.S. Memorial Day weekend, but no reason to rush things in the offseason in terms of getting him in front of the microphones last weekend or early this week.
