I see him as a difference maker. Askarov seems to be their goalie now too. He will even get better with more games. I thought Askarov was pulled when he let a bunch of goals in and the net went to their 2nd goalie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puistola and Dorofeyev being the guys I really wanted! Draft all the players!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was in the opening game for Russians. Askarov was good in the last game against Germany and is going to play again in the quarterfinal tonight... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rollieo Del Fuego Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Bertuzzi lite....the way he checks and the assist off the back of his leg (net front presence)...and his skating isn't that bad, good top speed and he can make some moves...his skating is better that Bo's was at the same age.

I know which player will come out with it 9 out 10 times. That's why Podz was drafted at 10 and Doro wasn't. Jr tourney, hype is just that. Still Doro looks great for Vegas. Imagine using that same line of thinking deciding between VIlardi and Pettersson in 2017. It's way easier to find someone who is strong on the boards than it is to find someone who can make a play with the puck. Look at what we gave up for Leivo versus what we gave up for Miller. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's way easier to find someone who is strong on the boards than it is to find someone who can make a play with the puck. Look at what we gave up for Leivo versus what we gave up for Miller. A big difference between Doro and Ep40. Ep40 was way too good to slip past the 6th pick vs the late second round. Gabriel Vlardi is a really good prospect humbled by some injuries but will be a solid NHLer. He may or may not be a top six guy. At least he has a solid floor. Fair comparison to Podz. That said, Podz has been healthy and his issues at the draft had little to do with anything he could control. We have a plethora of skilled soft forwards, 2 NHLers are in Utica atm. There is no shortage atm, but PF type players are among the harder to come by players types in the NHL. With players like Ep40, Hughes and I dare say Gaudette, we have creative players to get others the puck. Having a second Miller or Horvat would be sweet. Remember CdC, the western playoff picture currently runs thru teams like Vegas and St Louis. Not exactly teams you can beat using only skill. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vilardi would be similar in the sense that he was touted as someone who could play physical along the boards and still smart and skilled enough to make a play. Crosby wins battles too, you can still be smart if you're a physical player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more responding to the "it's way easier to find someone who can play along the boards than it is to find someone who can make a play with the puck." I guess what you meant is that getting a player who's good along the boards is easier than getting a player who's good along the boards AND can make a play with the puck, but that's pretty obvious I'd say.

Leivo is a great 3rd/4th liner and has glimpses of the second line. Miller has cemented himself on the first line and is playing at nearly a ppg pace. His play has raised Ep40's play and Brock has really turned up the two way game. His forechecking last night was better than I have seen from him before. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master 112 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) podkolzin with an early assist today - passed from the corner to morosov in the slot, who riped it and scored. it was accomplished after he kept the puck alive/kept control of it for his team by battling in the other corner. definitely an effort of more than him- don't want to say he did it all himself- but he played a good part in a scoring play.

Dungass Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 (edited) Podz just did an AMAZING through the legs pass to a player who had a wide open net, and the guy missed. He keeps doing what he's doing, I see first line potential. Edited January 4, 2020 by Dungass 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
