Lisin on Russia World Team; Anisimov Talks First Full Season

Laurie at Beyond the Blueshirts reports that Enver Lisin will be joining Artem Anisimov on Russia's World Championship team which will play in Germany next month.

...whatever, Lisin won't be back next season. I never understood why fans liked him. Sure he's fast, but no offensive or defensive ability whatsoever.

Laurie was also able to sit down with Artem Anisimov to discuss his first season on Broadway...

Are you happy with your 28 points?

Of course you always want more, but it was my first season, so it’s not terrible. Everything was new, everything was much faster, the goalkeepers are different, much stronger than in the AHL, where I played last season. By the way, there are a lot of young, talented guys in Hartford now and they are constantly breathing down your back.

...looking forward to Anisimov having a bigger role on the Rangers next season.

you'd prefer Voros over Lisin? At least Lisin didn't take stupid penalties every time he was on the ice

I actually would prefer Voros over Lisin. He is all effort on team that is sorely lacking in that area.

It's no coincidence that the team turned it around as soon as he was re-inserted into the line-up.

And the only reason Lisin didn't take stupid penalties is because he was usually so out of position defensively he was no where near the play.
