The choice has been made, Paul Coffey is returning to the bench.

Knobs is "all over" the "idea"..

The very definition of insanity is doing the exact same thing expecting different results.

Generally Disappointed.

Interesting to say the least. Knobs saying why are you not listening to my defensive pairs?

Coffey: "My Stanley cup rings are plugging my ears"

I think that was from Patrick Roy saying something to this effect..

No way that's not a gun to his head with him saying that, no way at all.

lol, Knob has to be on the hot seat now. Coffey has a direct line to the owner. He probably comes into that coaching staff with a lot of power.

For the sake of this team and not wasting another year of McDrai, i really hope Coffey does have some kind of magic wand for the defensive play. It's been abysmal this year.
