So your saying Podz needs Bo's skating coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boeser first, because Podz still manages to have a good acceleration and top end speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dats hockey Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I love how he has to earn every minute of play time down there. But I gotta say I’m so damn curious what kind of production they’d get out of him if they expand his role and put him on the top line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the right skating coach could work wonders with Podkolzin. He’s effective, but very inefficient in his skating (as @deus.ex.makina noted earlier). With some technical work, Podkolzin could probably be a lot better. Which is saying something, because he already gets around quite well, he just looks awkward at times doing it. He seems to be expending so much extra energy, but with his relentless motor and drive, it somehow works for him. Agree with @deus.ex.makina that it might not be sustainable for the long term, and hopefully that’s something the Canucks are watching and planning for. But with the right technical adjustments, Podkolzin could potentially clean up his mechanics, improve his efficiency, make immediate gains in his movement, and also take some long term wear and tear off his body, which could benefit his career longevity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Read this article about Tampa Drafting and notice this part Quote As soon as the Lightning took him, they turned him over to Stacy Roest, who does much of the development work with the team. Roest put Point onto Barbara Underhill, a former World Champion pairs skater who has helped a number of NHLers improve their stride. Among those working with Point was Jamie Heffernan, a golf pro by profession who is also a consultant with the Lightning. He was one of the first in hockey to use the Zenolink 3D motion capture technology system as a tool to analyze skating. The result is the current version of Brayden Point, an elite skater who can play both ends of the ice and could very well end up winning the Conn Smythe Trophy this season. https://www.si.com/hockey/news/how-the-lightning-got-one-of-the-greatest-draft-steals-of-all-time 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure961089 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 By the time the KHL finishes their season the NHL will be starting up. Podkolzin will slide right into our top 6 and give Petty some muscle on his line. Pod’s size, grit and being hard as nails added with his offensive gifts will make him the perfect line mate. 6”3 right now and growing into his massive frame. He has a Todd Bertuzzi body frame. He’s going to give defencemen nightmares standing in front of the net. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, elite in puck pursuit, with high end skill. Calling it now.... He'll be on the cover of S.I. titled... 'the new age of the power forward'. #cantwaitformarch Edited September 13, 2020 by Hogs & Podz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Hopefully Pod can garner more ice time this season. Only 11:47 so far and only averaged 8:49 last season. Improvement but I am hoping he sees closer to 15 minutes. Don't want to throw him into a 16+ minute role here right away if he gassed out. On a more solid note he is putting up a lot more hits so far this year. On paper he had 15 hits in 30 games last year and this year through 4 games he has 8 hits.

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I guess we’ve all settled on Pod/Pods/Podz for his nickname, but was wondering about a “3rd jersey” option for Podkolzin’s nickname? Some options (some of these are terrible but they’re not all mine): Vasya (the standard Russian nickname for Vasily) The Moscow Mule Bulldozin PutGoalsIn Podzilla Red Bull/Russian Red Bull SwagZilla (this one comes from the Trust the Process guys) or maybe Brewski? (His name is Podkolzin, and the “kolzin” part sounds like “cold one,” and a cold one is a beer, and a beer is a brewski, and brewski actually sounds kinda Russian, and it even rhymes with VasilY a bit, so... Brewski?) Or could go with an 80s/90s pop star inspiration: Vasily Ice? Milli Vasili? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we call his fan club the Pod people? And his goal song should definitely be a cut off of Ween’s The Pod. I’d suggest playing Captain Fantasy or The Stallion (pt1), ideally uncensored. Actually, add “The Stallion” and “Captain Fantasy” to his nickname options. EDIT: actually, The Stallion Pt2 would be hilarious.

Its important not to overwork kids while they're still growing and let them get proper recovery time, and i also like that he's forced to earn his time there too. Its all good imo.

I understand that and hope he earns the coaches trust. People here are talking about him stepping into a top 6 role right away when he makes the jump. Just want to get people to understand that he might be starting on a 3rd line/secondary role his first year here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
