Not many of them. How about we look up north. Russell, new defenseman, new system, new coach, new team. I rest my case.

Russell started well, but is not playing well at all these days. Watch him on the Jets' first goal last night. The Oilers never had possession of the puck, yet there he was out at the blue line (actually the furthest from his own net).
The Oilers fans are all "he tries hard but all he does is ring the puck blindly around the boards and then block shots".
