Vasily Podkolzin | #92 | RW


Recommended Posts

Sportsnet 650 had the head of European scouting for one of the major hockey publications (sorry, forgot which one) and he mentioned a few days ago that Podkolzin would be better off playing a lot in the MHL because of the fact that young players don't get much ice time in the KHL, especially at a big club like SKA.

good point...there is an easy hockey drill called "follow your pass"...if players actually do that in a game, it's amazing how much puck support  (different levels of support) and chances come from doing this simple game situation drill in a game...just follow in Podz wake and a player should be able to capitalize on chances he creates.

Taught that as a minor hockey coach, no point forechecking if nobody follows. Most pucks are coughed up from players who are contested.

almost scored his first

getting some rotation this time as a 4th liner but is doing something every shift

Loving this kid . Was soooo stoked when we picked him at 10. Started watching him when he began to get projected as a possible top 3-5 pick for a large portion of last year. Steal at 10.

Benning's said he is NHL ready now, heh. Two more years he is going to be beastly.

SKA won the second game on the road 4-3 in OT against Traktor, Chelyabinsk. Podkolzin with 10:36 of ice time, 13 shifts mostly on 4th line with Kablukov and Ketov.

 

wow thats really encouraging. How did he look in that role?

Watching his game 2 Pod is always first to the puck. The kid is a battler, he’s none stop. He should of scored but the D guy hooked his  stick and Arm. I’m happy he’s getting ice time and he will get more just by the way he competes.

 

im so stroked about the Podkolzin on Canucks future.  Again...great pick at 10.
