How are we feeling about Paul Coffey returning to the Edmonton Oilers bench?

Coffee back, but for how long?
There's no spending cap on coaches, right? The Oilers are the #3 most profitable team in North American sports. Give him an offer he can't refuse.
I don’t but the whole running out of gas narratives for professional athletes with access to the best health services available in the world daily. Nutrition, training, sleep all a big deal. Granted sleep can be difficult for recovery on the body always travelling but having to practice during the finals who cares. They do what they need to do to be the best they can be. Figure it out lol. I think fans, media all spew these narratives more than anything and you’d find the players will take accountability no excuses even when their sport is at its hardest.
Try something…obviously so far they look avg way too often.
Good
Management has realized theres something wrong therefore wanting Coffee back. They are not the same team from the last two years.
Paul only wanted to work half a season and enjoy some of his golden years
Good, the Oil Dfence was much better with him.
Maybe Coffey can come back in place of nurse? That would be neat.
Crazy how we can't function without him. Once we win a few cups, let this man retire.
I keep saying it, The Oil need to find toughness to create space and commit heavily on defensive play, I know, Everyone says it's hard, Other teams always seem to find it… If there's a will there's a way
This is a Great thing tho, Paul Coffee is needed I believe
I've kinda given up on this season though. I wouldn't go all in this year. Go all in next instead. Am I wrong?
WTF did he ever leave to begin with? He helped their D a lot when he was there before.
Long overdue stop d small talk it is what it is positive vibes d in good hands now attn to detail 🙏✌️🧡🤫
Good!
I've been a Knob defender. If Paul has issues with Knob then he needs to go.
Fire Knoblauch hire Coffey what’s the question or problem here? Ones a good coach the other is a figure head.
