I can't recall exactly but I believe it may have been against the Stars last season but a player entered the zone on Russell and faked a shot to which Russell slid to block while the player simply shifted and walked in all alone on the goaltender to score. It looked really bad. The team had obviously done it's homework on the Flames and Russell and the major concern with this guy signed to any long term deal is if he loses a step he's going to be basically nothing but a pylon.
