I’m thinking younger players’ wives and girl friends will include her in stuff. I hope she has some help on that front. They look like a nice couple tho, I'm happy for this kid its all breaking his way. Nice to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RecklessReilly Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 It is very early....and it may be some KGB arranged Mob wedding. None the less, I like seeing prospects take on big life experiences outside of hockey. To me it shows that he is not wanting to be some playboy on the road and focus more on things that matter to him, like family and hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he is going to ruin his career like Virtanen did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Stierlitz Posted June 10, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 10, 2021 4 hours ago, Googlie said: Podz is 3 months younger than Silovs, but about a year behind him in marriage. Arturs and his wife both speak Russian, but I am guessing they will be in Abbotsford, otherwise I could see some natural bonding there I would be surprised if Artur does not speak Russian since he has Russian last name which pronounces [Shee-lov]. How did Russian surname Shilov become the English-Latvian Silovs? Simple. After getting independence in 1991 the Latvian government declared mandatory name rules for the entire country. For the male population, the first and last names had to end with letter "S" plus the special local letters so Artur Shilov became Artūrs Šilovs which became Arturs Silovs in English. You know, the English language does not recognize those funny special letters in Eastern European names like Š, ć, ž, etc. For instance, original surname of famous Joe Sakic is actually Šakić which pronounces Sha-Keech but this is another story 1 4 4 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stierlitz Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I am glad another local guy Milan Lucic (Lučić) was stubborn enough to push for his surname to be pronounced the right way [Lju-cheech] instead of plain English [Lu-keek] BTW Canucks signed two Czech forward "twins" - Lukas Jasek and Karel Plasek. Obviously their name spelling in NA is wrong. - Lukas Jasek (Lukáš Jašek) should be pronounced [Lu-kash Ja-shek] - Karel Plasek (Karel Plášek) should be pronounced [Ka-rel Pla-shek]. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to “settle” the height arguments once and for all. (Side note, Pod looks like he’s wearing hulk hands.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
