Coburn doesn't think he's tough.

Playoff Coburn does. That's when he channels his inner Bryan Marchment.

Come on dude he fights like 3 times a year. And if he thought he was a tough guy, he wouldn't be fighting Kyle Okposo
- Giroux_Is_God

you can tell he "thinks" he's a tough guy by the look on his face when someone confronts him. He gets this "oh, you don't wanna mess with me!" look to him.

Our 2nd pp unit is so bad. Cooter needs to come off for Mez ASAP.

great save by Emery ... Flyers started the period well, but the Isles pushed back over the last 10 minutes. We're a bit lucky we're not losing.

Coburn once got beat up by Owen Nolan.
Owen Nolan once called his shot for a hat trick in an ASG.
Mike Knuble once scored a hat trick.
Therefore, Coburn is Mike Knuble.

Based on the look on his face? Because Malkin does the same thing at times...unless Malkin thinks he's king of fights.

not just the look on his face ... but based on his whole demeanor during a scrum.

We've all known guys who think they're a lot more feared than they are, and Coburn reminds me exactly of one of those kind of guys.

I think Coburn is comfortable in his own skin. If he wasn't, he would have gotten a nose job

I disagree. I don't think he's a guy who's necessarily going to go out and prove how tough he is, but I don't think he's going to act afraid and run away either.

I don't understand why this idiot is PMSing about this whole "WHAT A CLOWN HOW COULD YOU START YOUR 4TH LINE YOU OBVIOUSLY JUST WANT TO GOON IT UP YOU WASTE!" idea he has.

Coaches start their 4th lines all the time. It isn't exactly a rare thing. It's to set the energy level, forecheck, etc....playing the 4th line doesn't mean you want them to bash peoples' faces in. It means you want to set the "yoeman's work" tone.

Tortorella is clueless.

It's rare to start a 4th line unless they are a strong defensive unit like the Flyers line of Lappy-Betts-Carcillo. Then you are just playing match ups. I believe the Flames started that line for a reason.

you might be right ... just something about his demeanor seems strange to me.
