Join me tonight as I live tweet my editing of the latest @RussoHockey mailbag. First thought:

He likes to butter me up in the lede with apologies for the word count and reminders of the good deeds he& #39;s done for me. Young writers, take note: This is Journalism 101, and it works.

Russo insists on answering all mailbag questions in one giant paragraph. I was put on this earth to chop up giant paragraphs. It is the unstoppable force against the immovable object and it is riveting to watch the battle unfold.

6:43: Just deleted some words. Still a whole heck of a lot in there.

7:28: You have to admire that the man is still patiently answering so many Kirill Kaprizov questions.
