Considering what a long and successful career he has had as a player it is somewhat surprising that he only has one cup to his name. However this hides how many finals he has actually been to. Over the course of his career he has been lucky to have played for many great teams and aside from New England and Atlanta he has made the finals with all of them. In his time with the west Kendall platoon he went to three finals losing two and then went on to lose finals with both New Orleans, a heart breaker in overtime of game 7 after Buffalo goal gender Elizabeth Doyle saved a breakaway, and then indeed after he was traded from Atlanta to buffalo they were smoked four to one in the finals. There aren't many players who have experienced the pain that ultimately comes with going the whole distance over the season only to fall down at the last as much as Rex Kirkby has.
