Craig Coxe: In Depth

Quote:

Craig Coxe's reputation as being a great guy to interview stands up real well. He doesn't mince words, is fair and self-critical, has great stories, and has a laugh for almost all of it.

Mike Kole: You only had 40+ NHL fights, unlike Bob Probert with nearly 300, and yet you have a lot of fans still, probably because of your open style. So, you didn't have Probert's fight totals or Joey Kocur's or Chris Nilan's, but you caught the imagination of hockey fight fans.

Craig Coxe: One thing I never did as a fighter was that I would never, ever jump somebody. The way I always felt was, if you're going to get into a fight, let's stand back and see who's tougher. I never agreed to jumping a guy or suckering a guy. I'm going to grab ahold of you, you grab ahold of me and let's see who can hit each other the hardest.

The majority of my fights weren't because I enjoyed it or I was just looking for something to do. It was to help the team. If one of their guys is taking liberties, it's my job to take care of that problem.
