Was Coffey that great defensively? Gregg, yes, Lowe, one of my favs, but Coffey wasn’t Potvin defensively.

Coffey was an amazing skater and offensive talent. His defense was generally regarded as below average. However, people like to find weaknesses in someone so prolific offensively. Coffey gained a lot of publicity for his one defensive play in the 1984 Canada Cup when he broke up a Soviet 2 on 1 that led to a winning goal.

As for being a Bruins fan, you had to listen to that idiot Milbury name names and call out Stan Jonathan for the “too many men on the ice” penalty. No other player on that team said a word about Jonathan. No one mentioned his name I. The press. But that a.h. Milbury? What a POS.

Really? I never heard him say that. Never would have guessed Jonathan but it does make some sense in that he was a left winger and Marcotte stayed out through two or three shifts at left wing. Doesn't really matter who it was, ultimately the coach has to have responsibility.
