Russell finally getting some love around here! No denying, the guy has been solid this year. And when you only have 2 NHL regular quality D left in your lineup, having him back would be a godsend right now. Yeah I think it's more telling of the lack of depth currently. In a couple of seasons I feel they will be in a much better shape with Bouchard, Jones and Bear.

Yep, my dislike for Russell and his style of "let them in the zone and try to block the shot" style of defense is well known.

With the current depth I find myself begging for the news that he is back the lineup. One NHL pairing is not bad luck with injuries, it is terrible team building.

I am with you that Bouchard, Jones and Bear seem to have promise. Holding out hope that they can fix the plague that is our blueline depth for the last decade.

As far as this game itself. It is the same story as the entire season, hopefully the first line and RNH score 4
That and quality goalkeeping will be the deciding factor as we all know by now it wont be secondary scoring and defensive play.
