In reserve
Two Russian hockey players in the NHL unexpectedly found themselves in the reserve, missed the last two matches, while they have no health problems. They began to educate Vasily Podkolzin, although he does not need it at all. The attacker treated any decisions of the coach positively, if he did not like something, he kept it deep within himself, not intending to show dissatisfaction in public. Planted in the third period? Well, that's how the coach sees it, it's okay. They are released three or four times in a twenty-minute period - Vasily tried to use each shift to the fullest. He was visible in the moments when he appeared on the ice, did not serve the number, and it was clear that he was serious about his chances. But then he was transferred to the stands. It suddenly seemed to Trevor Green that "a young hockey player needs to watch the match from above."
This is a purely educational measure. Such methods were used in relation to Pavel Buchnevich in the Rangers, to Nikita Tryamkin in the same Vancouver, but in those situations it could be easily understood and explained. Pavel tried to play the hockey that he liked, and Tryamkin deserved it. But what Podkolzin was guilty of is completely incomprehensible. It seems that he just got to the wrong coach. Hopefully, the managers will order Green not to invent, but to use the player from the first round of the draft better.
