NHL ENTRY DRAFTJune 21, 2003Shawn BelleKonstantin GlazachevKevin KleinNASHVILLE, TENNESSEE Q. Who is your favorite NHL player right now? SHAWN BELLE: Right now it would have to be Jerome Iginla. Q. If you had to pick Gretzky versus Forsberg who would you pick? SHAWN BELLE: Probably Gretzky. Q. Favorite team? SHAWN BELLE: Edmonton Oilers. Q. Favorite movie? SHAWN BELLE: I don't have one. Q. Britney or Christina? SHAWN BELLE: Probably Britney. (Laughs). Q. (Inaudible)? SHAWN BELLE: I guess really was involved with camp through the NHL's diversity program so I got an invitation and kind of met up from there with Jerome. Q. First time meeting him? SHAWN BELLE: Yes. Q. You were maybe highly regarded early in the season, maybe didn't have as good a season, is that the way you looked at it? SHAWN BELLE: I didn't feel like I had the greatest first half of the season and I know that after that, my game started to really pick up. I got a lot more confidence when I was out on the ice. That's when it really started to turn around for me. Q. What player do you kind of pattern your style after? SHAWN BELLE: I try to pattern Rob Blake in a way. He can play against first lines every night and banging their bodies and shut them down. At the same time he's able to chip in offensively. Q. Do you have a hard shot? SHAWN BELLE: Pretty hard shot. Q. You are an all-arounder? SHAWN BELLE: Right in the middle. Q. Kevin, is this where you figured you would go, did you have first-round hopes or did you have a feeling you'd go higher in the second round? KEVIN KLEIN: There were plenty of speculation, I guess. A lot of people are going to tell me late first round, early second and I was just glad to get it over with finally and go to a great team and I have been here for a couple of days so I know what it's like, and the pride that they have, the fans, so I have a little bit of knowledge about their franchise and organization, so I am happy to be picked by Nashville of course and I am just glad I got a chance to be drafted. Q. This really for both players could you guys just describe your own playing styles a little bit and your own words? KEVIN KLEIN: I am two-way defensemen, I think I skate pretty well. I need to add a little bit of size but I think I can benefit the team. KONSTANTIN GLAZACHEV: I am a very skilled player, play very well all-around the net and I am a scorer. Q. Konstantin, what are your plans for next year? KONSTANTIN GLAZACHEV: I would like to play in Russia (INAUDIBLE) level. End of FastScripts... |
