SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Pods benched to ensure the loss and extend the series. Need another game in St. Petersburg. All about maximizing that playoff revenue stream, and everyone must do their part. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Seems like a harsh reaction to a single penalty, but the KHL doesn't &^@# around when it comes to younger players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gets benched the other game for a while but gets put out there to defend a lead and score an empty netter. I’m not sure there are many coaches in North America that would employ that tactic. But hey maybe this is making Podz turn into one mentally strong individual. Let’s hope for the best and get him a Nuck uni ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the approach of cutting young players some slack as they make mistakes and go through growing pains, whereas the KHL seems very focused on winning at all costs despite inconsistent player usage (Podz) Can't wait to have him over here, he doesn't even need to blow me away in his rookie season, just having him in an environment committed to developing his game as well as possible would be good enough for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flickyoursedin Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 Well coach just figured out benching podz his team couldn’t get it done. Should play the kid that has 3 points in 3 games and 6 minutes. As we’ve learned from Mrs. MaCEwen you can’t make an impact in just 6 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A dude like Podz seems like the type that doesn't sulk and probably at one point benefited from that style of coaching. However if this was based on one penalty, that's a bit over the top. I think once he gets here and realizes he won't get benched for every mistake he makes we will see him be more effective offensively, since he won't be playing as conservative, worried about making a mistake.

Green just needs to be punted/allowed to walk at the end of the season.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Not fun seeing a kid like Podz get benched for almost two thirds of the game. Sucks but it happens. Can’t wait to see him over here soon. The future is bright with this kid. Better yet, I’d save him for next season but I wouldn’t mind him getting into the lineup if we make the playoffs. He’s a kid who can do damage whenever he’s out there on the ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.B Cooper Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Haha. One bad play and one of their best players sits the rest of the game. Go Russia. Not even Green is that big of a d!(k. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petey40 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 So his contract is officially up on April 30th, if SKA gets eliminated can he join earlier? Or can he join at all this season? I’ve seen conflicting reports.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it's at least another week, or so I am told. Sweden is beautiful this time of year. I may not come back for awhile. So the upper body injury may linger into the Spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
