Devils let Vishnevski go to Russia
Defenseman Vitaly Vishnevski has cleared waivers and the Devils will grant his request to play in Russia in the upcoming season, general manager Lou Lamoriello said Sunday. "He expressed the desire to go back to Russia for personal reasons," Lamoriello said. Vishnevski, 28, probably would not have been in the team's plans for 2008-09 because they have seven other NHL defensemen under contract and 2006 first-round draft pick Matt Corrente is expected to make a push to make the team in training camp.

This move is all about the money pure and simple. Thats how Lou runs things. He got his use out of him and now he's gone.

That's not Lou Lamoriello! That's Mikhail Gorbachev! He just had his Red Russia tatoo removed from his forehead!

I was gonna go with Dick Cheney's Russian half-brother. Put some glasses on him, you couldn't tell the difference. Lenin had a goatee.

Maybe later in life Lenin is who you were talking about. When he was excommunicated from the Soviet Union, he shaved his goatee and came back to once again take over.

Personal reasons,eh? Is it possible that NO TEAM WANTS HIM? i think thats more like it. Cleared waivers. No gm offered him a contract. What other option does he have? Work at Burger King?

At Tim Hortons or Swiss Chalet?
I say Tim Hortons. Maybe he'll give us some free coffee.
Seabird: Can i order a large double-double. Hold the spit.
Vishnevski: would you like a face wash with that sir?
Seabord: Yes,preferrably with game worn sweaty gloves.
Vishnevski: The game worn gloves will cost you extra
LOL.

Lou is clearly half-Italian mafia/ half Russia mob. But he's only a mid-level guy. Not a made man. One wrong move and he'll be taking a dive into the East River wearing a pair of cement boots. If he's lucky they'll give him a final meal consistig of a bowl of borscht following by a plate of spaghetti ending with a glass of Chianti and three shots of vodka to wash it all down and dull the pain.

Hmmmmmmmm..... Chunky soup and beer. Borscht and spaghetti. Chianti and vodka. A man of contrasting tastes you are, Yoda.
As for Lou, let's hope he doesn't get an invitation to Umberto's in Little Italy. He can provide his own red sauce for the clams......
