Coffey's offensive prowess set numerous records for defensemen in the NHL. He holds the record for the most goals, assists, and points by a defenseman in a single season, recording 48 goals, 90 assists, and 138 points during the 1985-1986 season. Coffey won the Norris Trophy as the NHL's top defenseman three times (1985, 1986, 1995) during his career.
He's right, the Flames deserved to win and took it the Oilers tonight. Better goal tending, better defense and better offensive finish. Flames looked like a playoff-ready team and the Oilers did not.
What an outstanding and blessed 🙏athletic 👍. I grew up watching and cheering for the Edmonton Oilers. Not only was I there at the Coliseum to watch Gretzky and all the other upcoming superstars but, to admire and look in awe at how Paul Coffee could skate circles around players, backward too! Not really sure if he skated faster backward or forward, it was a treat to watch.🤗Edmonton was blessed and spoiled when a bunch of unknowns came to and changed hockey! 🏒🏒especially Grant Fuhr🥅.
thanks Paul Coffee for your playing career in Edmonton.the city is for ever thankful for all the Stanley cups.we are longing for the next one in 2024..Go Oilers
Louie Debrusk all touchy feely with Paul Coffey, looked like it bothered Paul Coffey. Be a little more respectful Louie Debrusk. Paul Coffey was one of my favorite. So estatic for Paul Coffey when he got 2 more Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins. How many players can say they won Stanley Cups with both Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux. Wow!
Paul, why do the players NOT follow the plan as laid out, not work hard to win battles. It’s like they all do it the same game at the same time. Forwards included in back checking. Another terrible back checking by Connor, Leon. Simply awful since the break.
I was 16 when Paul Coffey almost broke BobbyOrrs goal scoring record. I still marvel at how he could skate with seemingly little effort. I heard That even Victor Tikhonov said it was unreal or a skater Coffey. I would love to be able to skate like that for one game
Coffee in his prime was impossible to catch once he got going, very long stride. We were taught to start off with short strides as kids which was the completely wrong approach. He and Bure both hit full stride on the first stroke and were the fastest guys in the league. You could not play a trap with guys like Coffee, they just blew on by. He is too polite to agree with Fuhr but Fuhr is absolutely correct. The clutch and grab era allowed people to hang on for a ride, guys like Lemieux would pack two guys down the ice on their backs and still score. Very dry sense of humour, he took a shot at goalies but it blew right on by the interviewers. One of top d's of all time.
And coffey does it again ! But this time as a coach. Nice way to build our defence mr coffey. We aint finished but were 2 away from the cup. And i will say youre building our defence like no other 🫡
The problem the coach faces is that instead of having six top players, he actually only has four top players: McDavid, Hyman, Draisaitl and Nudgen-Hopkins.😜 Kane is NOT top six )) he is 3-d line player! Oilers need one more Hyman type player
How did Oilers beat some tough teams lately including Boston? Simple. First line should be Drais/McD/Hyman. They produce complicated points. 2nd line should be Henrique/RNH/Kane. Stop putting RNH on the top line. Bad idea. By doing so we lost games. Let's win with proper lines which is proper chemistry.
What the hell is the manager doing pulling the goalkeeper with more than 7minutes left in the game.?in 50 years Ive never seen this in my50 yrs of following hockey. Oilers since Gretzky signed up and our team took off?
Lets be honest. Returning to the bench in general is because his kids aren’t very good hockey players. Played against blake in AAA and he was average at best. Not sure about his brother but doesn’t seem to be doing well. If they made the show or a farm team i guarantee Paul wouldn’t be on the bench.
Always like hearing from Mr. Coffey. Still plenty of hockey ahead.
Oh if you only knew!
What an absolute class guy Oiler blue and orange to the end thank you, Mr. coffee.
The least you can do is spell his name correctly...🙄
What a legend! That guy knows how to handle media scrums………the dressing room must have been a blast back in the day!
Wow what a gem of a guy

Not quite correct. Bobby Orr had 37 goals and 102 assists for 139 points in 1970-1971, still the record for most points in a season.
Bobby orr
This was incredible...how can you not love this legend!
Paul coffey what a beauty
Love this interview with Coffey, he is a legend !
Mr. Coffee was an amazing hockey player. Always conducted with professionalism and class. Good to hear that he is coming back in a different capacity.
The least you can do is spell his name correctly....🙄
I would really like to work with this man. Paul came back to WIN....not Place or Show...and thats how I like to play to.
A living legend.
this man's nhl stats are insane
One of the best!
He's right, the Flames deserved to win and took it the Oilers tonight. Better goal tending, better defense and better offensive finish. Flames looked like a playoff-ready team and the Oilers did not.
PC prob one of the greatest hockey minds of all time. Unbelievable amount of achievements by this man

Coffee has always been a bit of an introvert when it comes to the media this interview is interesting
Edmonton loves Paul Coffey
Love you always Paul. Now get the D back to pre-All-Star form. Thank you!

Class guy. But people forget how often Sather complained in the press about Coffee's defensive game.
Louie Debrusk all touchy feely with Paul Coffey, looked like it bothered Paul Coffey. Be a little more respectful Louie Debrusk. Paul Coffey was one of my favorite.

What happened to the defense since the All-Star break?
I was 16 when Paul Coffey almost broke BobbyOrrs goal scoring record. I still marvel at how he could skate with seemingly little effort. I heard That even Victor Tikhonov said it was unreal or a skater Coffey. I would love to be able to skate like that for one game

noticed that after I hit the send, I am sure you will get over it. @@richardmahfouz4392
And coffey does it again ! But this time as a coach. Nice way to build our defence mr coffey. We aint finished but were 2 away from the cup. And i will say youre building our defence like no other 🫡
Boston Bruins Legend Paul Coffey!
Yeah, Those 18 games with Bruins, just before he decided to pack it in were the most amazing of his 1409 games. Lol
At 76, I'm telling you that Gary Bettman has destroyed hockey the was we knew it.
Oilers in the Cup Finals 2024. Good Luck.
Bouch let’s those slap shots go like Bobby Hull
Bouchard, a talented right-shot D, a good ol' Ontario boy, needs to come home. Along with his captain. They sure would look good on the Leafs 👍😂
The problem the coach faces is that instead of having six top players, he actually only has four top players:
McDavid, Hyman, Draisaitl and Nudgen-Hopkins.😜 Kane is NOT top six )) he is 3-d line player! Oilers need one more Hyman type player
Hymann wearin Shaqs jersey
Recently saw an interview with Bobby Orr and he joked that his dad used to kid him about Paul Coffey being a better skater than him.

What the hell is
the manager doing pulling the goalkeeper with more than 7minutes left in the game.?in 50 years Ive never seen this in my50 yrs of following hockey. Oilers since Gretzky signed up and our team took off?
here's a tip ...interview a guy from the winning team.
Scott oak I get tired of you preaching hall of fame, great one , you sound like a broken record, is that all you know.
Paul, looks like you have a deviated septum. A good chiro can fix that.
Chiropracty is bunk
@@lkkjhg45 much of it is. Not all practitioners are equal.
So annoying that dude is interviewing Paul Coffey, and he keeps saying Wayne Gretzky - the great one.
What a loser
hes no bobby orr........but the next thing to he
Oilers falling apart!!!
