Rollieo Del Fuego Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 Those highlights show me a younger Bo Hovart with even more drive to get to the net....I know he isn't a center ....but he is a bull on the puck and on the rush....! Should be a 20 goal scorer at least.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bissurnette Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 On 9/9/2020 at 10:46 PM, SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME said: 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. I think he could stand to work on his hands a little too tbh, but he's a bull I like his game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herberts Vasiljevs Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Tbh I'm just glad he's playing on one of the KHL's top teams and averaging around 12 minutes a game. I don't really give a rats ass about his point production. At all. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pavel the Bure Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 OCTOBER 09/2020 Translation is very good (LOL) in my opinion, enjoy ..... Vasily Podkolzin: "I never thought about where I would be now if I went to Canada" SKA forward Vasily Podkolzin explained why he has not yet decided to go to North America. In the NHL, the rights to the forward belong to Vancouver. "I never thought about where I would be now if I went to Canada," the KHL website quotes Podkolzin. "Even there were no such thoughts. I did not regret the decision for a second. In the CHL draft, I was chosen without my knowledge, I was not going to go there. Among my friends in the national team there are enough guys who went overseas, but this is their way. They should go through it. Guys like - let them play, study the culture of another country. But I feel at home in Russia. You know you're here yours. You can calmly talk with the coaching staff in your native language. Hockey is developing around, and you are with him. My way out of my comfort zone is that I left home at the age of 13 for a boarding school. Then I moved from Podolsk to St. Petersburg. For me, moving to a big city is a major change. I made the decision to stay in Russia more intuitively. There can be no correct answer here. I came to St Petersburg - I looked at the city, conditions and I liked it. There was an option with Lokomotiv, since my children's coach was from Yaroslavl. But the choice fell on SKA. For two years, favorite places appeared in St. Petersburg, fell in love with this city.

What's not to like? He's a Russian, why wouldn't he feel at home? You don't think Petey loves Sweden, Brock loves the US, or Juolevi loves Finland? They were all still here in North America last season. He wants to play in the NHL, he'll come when it's time. It also makes sense that there'd be a sense of comfort discussing hockey with a coach and peers who speak your home language. You don't think that if him and Tryamkin come over next season they won't talk hockey in Russian? Edited October 15, 2020 by Coconuts 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this is anything to worry about. I think his answer has more to do with where he would be if he left for the CHL before his draft year. When the article says "They should go through it" it translates more into "They could go through it" I think he's basically saying that for him he couldn't handle moving away from home and adapting to a new culture and language. That's really nothing to fault him on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like him to be hungry to play in NHL, I would like him to give an interview in English and not talking about comfort at home . He need to adapt to play here, it much easier to adapt from junior league. Again, not a big deal at this moment YET, I am not sure how Petey Brock or Juolevi think or what they LOVE.

And why would he give an interview in English when he's in Russia, playing for a Russian club, and likely being asked questions in Russian? He's got a contract, we'll figure things out with him once it's honored as there's nothing we can do til then. And that's appreciated, I just don't see any cause for concern.

Popular Post Pavel the Bure Posted October 15, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 15, 2020 Good news he is playing well this season so far Vasili Podkolzin, RW, SKA St. Petersburg (Vancouver Canucks) SKA has arguably the most exciting fourth line in the KHL this season and Podkolzin is the driving force behind that. He has picked up where he left off last season, combining high-energy, direct hockey with high-end skill. Podkolzin is also noticeably bigger this season – the KHL website has him listed at 6-foot-3 and 202lbs. He has been a positive impact player on nearly every shift that I have watched so far this year. He has been in the face of defenders as soon as they get the puck, hunting to get it back and start an offensive sequence. His defensive work has been solid as well, including a big shot block right at the end of the first period against Lokomotiv Yaroslavl to preserve a 2-0 lead. Offensively, his directness regularly leads to opportunities on goal. He uses his speed to power past defensemen along the boards and is always looking to drive the net. The tweet below is the perfect summation of Podkolzin so far this season – a good backcheck to win the puck, skill to allow him to evade the opposition, followed by speed to gain the zone and get a shot off. Nice little sequence from Vasily Podkolzin. Backchecking hit, forced turnover, stickhandle, zone entry and shot on net. pic.twitter.com/u4SbsKsV4J — /Cam Robinson/ (@Hockey_Robinson) September 8, 2020 There has been a lot to like about Podkolzin’s start to the 2020-21 season. I’m sure he will be hoping to make a bit more of an impact on the scoresheet and it feels like only a matter of time before he will. A goal and a primary assist in five games while seeing just 11 minutes of ice per game isn’t too shabby. The level of play is there and Canucks fans should be excited. 5 2 3 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
