I sometimes don't know how I feel about DeBoer, I know he was quite disliked by Shark fans, however, just on the evidence with VGK I have trouble understanding the hate. His total win percentage is on the order of 70+%, we are #1 in defense, won the Jennings despite Lehner having some sort of meltdown over the last month, #1 in the PK, have given up the sum total of 4 goals in 4+ games vs. our nemesis in the Wild. We are roughly #3 or 4 in offense despite massive injuries and a lack of centers. Yep, our power play just sucks, and I'm sure we can find fault otherwise, but we've never been in a position to draft a McDavid or a MacKinnon, yet we are far better than the Oilers, and we are difficult to play against, and I've never heard of any real locker room dissension.
Plus, his offside challenge in particular made him the star of the game in game 3.
