I am tempted to out a few message board posters who sent me email after email ranting, cursing and telling me how tough and talented Vishnevski is and how much we needed him on our team; how smart NJ was to get him; and how badly we needed him in our lineup. I have two emails that suggested we trade Mike Green for him straight up. My favorite quote, “Mike Green is soft. He is pretty. He will never make a big impact in the NHL while Vishnevski is tough; plays with snarl in his game; and is a stand-up, bone-jarring D man the likes we haven’t seen in DC since Scott.”

Whoops. Check out these clips. Check out the news that he is on waivers now from the Devils. I only mention this fact because I would just appreciate a bit of tempering in the passion of some of the emails I get regarding team personnel. Some of your emails sting and on rare occasion, we might actually be right.
