Staples endorsed him. Coffey is as good a gone.

They know a thing or two about being ####ty.
There shouldn’t be any concern about that.

Can never quite tell who he's directing said rants at, but it's always something to watch him champion someone in the organization out of the blue and try to convince the world that the Oilers are housing a world class genius while absolutely no one echoes his sentiments because it's so out of left field.
Meanwhile the team just keeps chugging along underachieving.

All I can get
|
"Perfect coaching."
That has E=NG meme potential.
Next time there's a "this guy scored" photo....
"Perfect coaching."
Etc.
The material writes itself.

Coffey's entire statement is among the dumbest crap I've ever heard from a coach, especially one that should understand that he's operating within a system of finite resources.
"Oh you cant make a play? Fine! We'll get Fox or Karlsson!"
- Uhhhh....sir...Mr. Coffey Sir? We uh....yeah...no chance.
"Get Duncan Keith in here!!"
- Uhhh...also no.

Haha yeah, those are some hollow threats when the team can't afford to make recalls let alone dress a full roster many games this season.
"We'll get somebody else!"
Who ..and how? There is nobody else. Team is handcuffed.
Either coffey is dumb, or he's banking on guys like Nurse being too dumb to know better.
Goddamn perfect coaching. Chef's kiss.

[This is how you build offensive confidence in dmen]
He should call them offensemen instead of defensemen then.

Oil going after the world's first offensive-minded goaltender. Probably.

It's a rather poor choice of words considering how poorly that quote has aged lol.
You would think Edmonton people would give "I know a thing or two" the Voldemort treatment considering it still evokes laughter from people down here.
