Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted October 5, 2007 (edited) Good article, Zetta and Babcock giving very high praises to lil' Rex. A little build up to the Blackhawk game is in there as well and also talking about Drake and fighting. Article Edited October 5, 2007 by Konnan511 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dabura 12,232 Report post Posted October 5, 2007 Babs sounds slightly annoyed that drake fought in the first place I didn't get that from his comments. I think he was just making it clear that Drake's more than some old goon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FinWing 26 Report post Posted October 5, 2007 Drake's scuffle was one of the better events that night, I wanna see more of that this season. If Rex puts that great shot of his to use, good things are bound to happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Son of a Wing 1,644 Report post Posted October 5, 2007 Babs sounds slightly annoyed that drake fought in the first place "He's going to stand up for himself, but we expect him to be a wear-and-tear on the opposition's defensemen," Babcock said. "It isn't a guy that fights that bothers you. It's the guy that keeps (getting physical with) your 'D' all the time that wears you out." Because of that??? I think you're reading what you want to read. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Konnan511 1,736 Report post Posted October 5, 2007 "He probably scored more per shift than anybody in the National Hockey League," coach Mike Babcock said. "He's a gifted player. He led the Czech league in scoring when he was a kid. ... Then he came over here and was right up there in the American Hockey League in scoring. He's always scored." That first line whether it is true or not, has to be a HUGE compliment for young Rex. Anyone catch the part where Melrose said during his preseason predictions, Rex is a future consistent 35+ goal scorer. Now is his time to shine and it seems everyone thinks he can put up some great numbers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
