Can seriously see them finishing 1st in their division this season. Between Aho (a 40-goal guy with a computer for a brain), Teravainen, Svechnikov, Trocheck, Slavin, Hamilton, and Necas (the sophomore no one is talking about), they have an unbelievable team. And to your point, they have a great prospect pool! They're my #2 team behind the Canucks. Same here! I have a few Canes jerseys now, liked them since they drafted E. Staal and have followed them ever since. So happy they have been doing well the last few yrs. I love Aho and Svech (the jerseys I got), and am a big Trocheck fan as well (hoping he can find his prior success from Florida). Their D i stacked too with Slavin and Hamilton leading the way. The only thing I hate seeing is them not grabbing a proper goalie! Like they had one job this offseason with so many teddies available! My dream was to see Marky go there once I knew he wasn't signing with the nucks. I think that would have made them legit cup contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason being he had a suspect defensive game which they didn’t need more of. Granted I love to bash anything Oilers, Broberg is injured. That being said I admit seeing him make those power moves were worth my 14$ TSN subscription. Oddly enough I haven't watched a full game except for the Russian games.

Outsiders Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Watched the full game again tonight. Wow, Podz can really dish the puck. I said it a few pages back, get him with some trigger men and look out! I even said a few months ago put him with Petey and Miller and he will blossom and I stand behind that 100. He seems to so often just make the "right smart play" if you will. He constantly fights for the puck along the boards and most times comes out with the puck. Like his discipline this tourney, I know some are disappointed he isn't mixing it up and is pulling his guys out from the pile but this is the world juniors it isn't about rough stuff. In the NHL Podz isn't backing away he'll be right in there with his teammates. Right now it speaks to his maturity he is willing to let things go to help the team stay out of the box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podkolzin’s vision and passing ability also has me thinking about playing him at left wing, on a Podkolzin-Horvat-Boeser line. I think that combo has a ton of potential. Not that I don’t like the lineup options that use him at RW. I just have this feeling that Podkolzin and Boeser could be deadly together. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DownUndaCanuck Posted December 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2020 If he can play tough in the corners and win puck battles the way JT Miller does for the top-line, we've got a gem on our hands. We don't need any more "snipers" or shooters", we need more guys with intangibles and good passers and I've liked the way he comes out of almost every puck battle with the puck, then makes a smart pass or play. Hope this translates to the NHL in the next 2-3 years. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickenspear Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 7 hours ago, RWMc1 said: Pod's skate came up and caught him in the family jewels. I hope that wasn't intentional. There was a lot of sneaky accidentally on purpose stuff in this game. The way Podkolzin's leg was stretched looked like he was avoiding a groin or knee injury to me, tbh. You feel something get stretched a bit too far, and the body just reacts to it. But yes, there was a lot of little dirty plays throughout. Nice to see our 2 prospects talking about being roommates in Van. Never knew how much of a pest Costmar is, I like it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we'll find out a lot about Zegras/Podz/Costmar the two upcoming games which will be interesting. Points are not really the main issue though, remember Petey being kind of less than elite in his tourney because of linemates or whatever, but still think it will give a clear indication on what level each player is on. “Petey’s being less than elite in his tourney” Petey had 7 points in 7 games, 5 of them goals and tied for team lead. The Swedes lost to Team Canada in the finals. Not sure what “less than elite” means in that context. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legit though Lias Andersons dad was coaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedinyoureyesontheprize Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Even in this bipolar market people will truly come to appreciate VP as an all around player and a true difference maker. The subtleties to his game at this age is astonishing which makes him a serious candidate for Vancouvers top two lines. When the dam finally bursts open for Podzy it’s going to be fun to watch. What are the historical comparables for Podkolzin? It’d have to be players with the same playing style and output/60 minutes and adjusted for differences in league difficulty. Ultimately I personally believe Vasili is going to have a distinguished career. Wait and see. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
