Maddogy Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Podkolzin is still suffering from PTSD playing in Russia. Like a lost puppy he needs to be adjusted to a more offensive style of hockey. I think the easiest way is for him to play on the 3rd line but inserted into the second power play unit. On the power play, I think he would intuitively allow himself to take more risks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcam Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 I can remember Podkolzin dominate the U17 tourney in Calgary...Hope he can show that side again in time.. Big #92 is only 20, 6'2, 202 lbs, so so much talent, fans will love.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locke Lamora Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 He’s exactly the same height as J.T. Miller. They stood side by side chatting on the ice right in front of me. Miller is listed as 6’1”. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pods had a couple inch growth spurt after we drafted him, which is why he showed some regression in play. He was adjusting to his new body. We saw him excel in his recent KHL playoffs (record setting production) now he's adjusted. He's a beast. Go Podzilla Go!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Locke Lamora Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 Can’t wait to watch Podz tonight. As I mentioned in my series of Training Camp reports he appeared to be holding back in terms of engaging physically so I hope that changes tonight against the Flameouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 From Faber at Canucks Army: “As for the height, I compared us and he is probably about 6′-6’1″ as we expected. I’m 6’3″ and could clearly see that I had a couple of inches on him. He is 100% not 6’4″ like EliteProspectssays. That coward J.D. Burke can’t get anything right…” The obvious takeaway is that Chris Faber is actually 6’6” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanP Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Let me repeat again about his height - he is clearly same height as Danila (they were standing next to each other when they talked to Green at the end of the Saturday training camp session. Danila and I are the exact same height. And my height has been 6'2" for many years now :-). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junkyard Dog Posted September 28, 2021 Share Posted September 28, 2021 Showed some flashes but quiet night. I wouldn't mind seeing him up and down in the AHL/NHL but I would start him in the NHL for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
