b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted May 10, 2009 I miss Dallas Drake, helluva guy. I like Abdelkader too, but he has a long way to prove he's the "Dallas Drake" of this playoff year. Here's hoping! :beerbuddy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zion 93 Report post Posted May 10, 2009 And I remember the complaints from last year, how Drake did nothing (not Kopecky nothing, but close) and how he become a friggin' missile in the post-season, especially the WCF. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ms_Hockey 0 Report post Posted May 10, 2009 I absolutely love Dallas Drake. I drove to Traverse City during the summer to take pictures with the Cup and get stuff autographed by him. His whole family was sitting at the autograph table and I had more than one thing to get autographed. The lady at the side of the table started yelling at me that I was only allowed one autograph, and he stood up and said "Don't even worry about it. I'll sign it all.. you guys are the reason I'm here. The Cup would mean nothing without you." Honestly one of the nicest guys I've met. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broken 16 381 Report post Posted May 10, 2009 Who did the Wings get for Drake back in the day? And Sillinger? He was packaged up with Chevy and shipped to Winnepeg for Essensa and, I think, Bautin. Both were a complete bust. Not sure about Sillinger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jellytoast 1 Report post Posted May 10, 2009 I always liked Josh better, I think he has a much better acting range. Drake couldn't act his way out of a paper bag. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
