Facts!!! What is bothersome is that there are so many fans who still think Russell was the issue last year. Some believe he is still an issue but stats say otherwise. The fact that Russell made significant improvements in all areas should be evident that it was Hackett all along. I’m not saying Russ is perfect in any way but his stats from this year compared to last year (also take away the interm HC games) . It is night and day! I got shit from our own fan base when I pointed out factual information.
