Customer Reviews
I love pure Russo content!!!
I love hearing Russo talk unfiltered about the Wild. Much better than the LaPanta podcast he does.
Egomaniacs talking hockey
Title pretty much speaks for itself on this one
Clearly you are the “they”…
Billy doesn’t sound too up beat about it either. Hopefully you take his advice.
