Big, fast, skilled, high compete, straight line player who has a very nasty (dirty could be said) streak. Sorry Alf....can't get past the stench of messier when you type his disgusting name. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messier's_elbow Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 It will definitely be an interesting world juniors. Get to see him up close. Seems like he’s going to be a good 2 way player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthycanuck Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 On 6/24/2019 at 8:39 PM, Pure961089 said: U18 IIHF Tournament. Podkolzin #19 scored 1 goal and 1 assist in the gold metal game. He was robbed of a goal that would have been the gold metal winner from a grotesque call from the referee. The goalie clearly pulled the puck out from behind the goal line as see in 4:17 of this clip. He dominated the game. https://youtu.be/O1e2i-IUw_4 Look at who Pods outmuscled to score that goal? None other than Broberg 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could help with recruitment of Russian players and help some with the transition. To hell with that! Put some gear on him and let him ride shotgun with Petey, Brock and Quinn on the PP! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Barzal Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 When I watch this kid skate I can't help but think there's untapped potential there. He moves his feet really fast but almost in a similar vein to Jason Garrison where his skates are near parallel and he's not getting much 'push' off each stride.

canucklehead44 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) I can see him being in the mould of Ryan Callahan but with some more natural gifts like more size and better skill. Like a mix of Perry and Callahan. It sounds like his compete level is off the charts and he seems to do everything well including playing physical and agitating.

kenhodgejr Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 I am almost reminded of Todd Burtuzzi the way he used to drive the net with the puck around defence man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally prefer Vasily but neither one of those two correctly describes pronunciation of his name in Russian. This should be Vasiliy but it looks too complicated. Thank you for asking! https://www.howtopronounce.com/vasiliy/ Edited June 29, 2019 by Stierlitz 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reyezone Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 He is going to need to train some mma with Khabib and work on his hand speed and grappling if he keeps his love for running over goaltenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCNate Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 We are going to have a handful of guys playing in the WJC again with Podkolzi, Hoglander, Madden. Should be cool to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
