Head Coach Peter DeBoer is our Devil of the Week.
It's rare a coach would get such an accolade, but given what this man has done not just in the past week, but all season long — and last season for that matter — it's time he be recognized.
While he was in Florida, he never made the playoffs, and yet his teams were very close. One year, he was but a point out of the playoffs. And what he's done here has been nothing short of remarkable.
The Devils went 5-0-0 in the last week — and it simply seems every move DeBoer makes works.
I've said it before and I'll say it again — his hiring may be on the most under-appreciated, yet most brilliant moves, made by Lou Lamoriello. I was laughed at when, after he was fired by Florida, I suggested he be the next coach here.
Let's say that laughter is long gone.
