Ya Russell gets stuck in his zone sometimes. Board play and puck separation are weaknesses because of his reach. And so to compensate for his physical limitations, he just becomes the best shot blocker of ALL TIME and demonstrates repeatedly to up his game when we need a win, and this is a bad thing?
Why don't you go stare at some binary code and I'll be glad I can watch Kris Russell contribute to winning hockey.

The thing is I could careless about all the fancy advanced stats. Sure he had a part in the game winner, but if he didn't get hemmed In his in zone every shift we mite win before it goes to OT. The guy spent so much time in his own zone, and turning over the puck. If he could effectively make smart plays to move the puck out of our zone the entire team would see better results.
