Its just a classic "he's not one of us anymore so lets dump on everything about his game" thread.
Russell was great for the Flames the year we beat Van in the playoffs. I don't recall anyone complaining about blocked shots then.
Obviously not a top pairing guy but he's a decent player. People are making it sound like he shouldn't be in the NHL now.
