i think Russell shot himself in the foot in an interview saying that he dont like the physical side of the game, if i was the other coach i know the first thing id be saying to my team when playing against devils. At the moment we are bullied and out muscled off the puck.
I do not think it the players fault, we have some great players however to me it looks like that he coaching them to be a european style hockey which is not going to work week in week out in our league.
No one saying enforcer type player however both night our goalie had something done against him and nothing was done which tells all the rest of the league that we are push over and you can do what like because we will not react to it. I do not think the players are allowed by Russell.
Look at Riley now, very rare you get any hit now and we got some big bodies who do nothing at all. Personally i do not think Russell right for this league and it seems he is the type of person of it his way or the high way but time will tell i suspect.

Are you referring to the post-game clip against Clan that was then deleted? If so he said nothing of the sort.
