Islanders Bet Big on Mathieu Darche: Can He Turn Chaos into Championship Glory?
An apocryphal tale involving Darche and Lou Lamoriello gives the Islanders a nice bookend here.
The story goes that at the end of Darche’s career, in 2013, he attended Devils training camp on a tryout deal.
Lamoriello — still running things in New Jersey at the time — asked him to stay on in a manner similar to Matt Martin a year ago, in essence as a practice player, but Darche retired instead.
