I actually try to err on the side of keeping prospect expectations in check. Let me say that his “playing style” reminds me very much of Messier...that mix of skill (some slick passes in this game) and grit (close to the borderline hit obliterated some poor Kazak kid into the boards today). Before he loafed about in Canucks jersey, didn’t Mess have a pretty good motor? Pods has this in spades. I have noticed though that he really looks gassed in the last third of most of his shifts. I’m sure that will change as he develops some big boy cardio. I’ll be laser focused on him in this tourney like everyone else. From the little I've seen,bid say that their playing styles are definitely similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utunen? I feel like this guy has been around for several years. That's a surprise. Don't know much about plasek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phat Fingers Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Utunen has been around long enough to sink canada in the WJC in Vancouver. He is going to the wjc so how long could he have been 'around'? This isn't a 24 year old rookie 'sensation'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Sedinyoureyesontheprize Posted December 26, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 26, 2019 (edited) 7 mins in VP is driving play with some nice passes to setup teammates and a shot on goal. Czechs lead 2-0. VP with pp chance in front. No go. russia cuts the lead in half. 2-1. VP ties it up at 2-2 just after the PP. bangs in the Rebound. 5 mins left in 1st period. VP positioned down low on pp. great puck retrieval by VP on the pp and a couple of chances. solo rush with dangerous back hand Shot by VP. Very noticeable so far.

DontFockWithBrock Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 I've only watched 10 minutes of gameplay so far. but VP looks dangerous and aggressive on every shift. He seems to do a nice job drawing defenders towards him and then dishing it off to an open teammate for a chance on net. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO the guy nearly a year older than the kid born in September will be putting up better stats simply because they are further along in physical/maturational development. If you've got a coin flip, take the younger kid. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true but the odds grow longer the younger you select, it's three and out or a home run, Fingers crossed it's a home run 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dungass Posted December 26, 2019 Share Posted December 26, 2019 Exciting game, was rooting for the Ruskies just cause of Podz. Thought he looked solid and dangerous the whole game. But did anybody notice he wasn't first unit PP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
