I like Russell. I really do. A guy who blocks that many shots is by default working his ass off and willing to sacrifice for the team.
But he certainly doesn't belong in a list with any of those other guys. They block shots too, but not nearly as many, because they can do something with the puck when they get it. And they don't end up running around as often, desperately, umm, blocking shots as a last resort.
