As far a Russell goes.. there is a reason he has to block so many shots..

I am not a huge fan of corsi in some respects, but this is something I could actually understand. While he is a shot blocking machine, he is also the the dman who has poor possession stats, and finds himself hemmed in his own zone a lot due to this and the other team seems to have the most shots on our goalie with him on the ice. Worth a read.
