That was a great interview with Podz. Hats off to him for doing that interview, despite being a little nervous about his English. I like that he came right out and asked them to go easy on him as he's still learning English. For the most part, the questions weren't awful, I can think of worse questions. (Remember they asked Petey how much ice time he wanted in the first few games, to which he replied "I'd like 60 minutes")
You can just tell that since the new year, he has settled in and felt more comfortable. He's putting in lots of extra work both on and off the ice. He's fitting in with the team and coach well, and steadily improving. The last 20 games or so he's been very noticeable heading to the net, digging in corners and making good passes.
He managed to sneak in a few laughs too, which was good to see. He's going to come out of the gate really strong next year. He's going to be a really good (complete) player I think. He oozes character, determination, and commitment.
Can't wait to see what he can do next year. And maybe he will play in the Calder cup too and excel there. Lot's of upside, glad he is on our team.
