Stierlitz Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Podkolzin is really physical, pushed big defenceman hard in front of the Quebec net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fanfor42 Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 He so far is about the 6th best Russian forward. Jet lag maybe. He has 6 games here to show his stuff. Slow start but let's see. And before you googly eye me take a breath. He hasn't looked great so far. That's all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me it looked like he was rolled out every fourth shift and the Russian coach leaned on the Russian kids from the Q the most coz of the travel / jet lag factor. he had a few nice shifts where higher calibre team mates would have racked up points for him. you can tell he’s a bull though. Looking forward to the next games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I go to Europe, I feel awful the first two days. Russians came to Canada just a day before the first game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Family had the same experience with jet lag in the times we have travelled to Europe but only on the way there and not on the way back, not sure why that is.

Smashian Kassian Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 You can tell hes more of a playmaker than a goal scorer. And that he seems to pride himself on the details. I didnt think he was bad in that game, had some good moments despite not getting on the scoreboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtanen was also a beast physically at the junior level. A lot harder to do it against men, as I’m sure he’s figuring out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to see Jake more physical while he has the puck though by forcing the opponent to take his body, just after he passes. And be better, and harder along the walls in puck battles. Basically I'd like Jake to be meaner. That's not going out to hit guys either. It's about when we have the puck, and in puck battles. Use his size to make it hard for the opponents. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tre Mac Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Like the quote from the Province "With 1min of icetime in his KHL game Podz might as well go to work at Aquilini's blueberry farm." lol. Aye, hope it all pans out in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove the stench from the last player to wear it for the Canucks. Podz has worn a bunch of numbers that I have seen watching video this year alone. 91 92 19 21 11 I think those are the ones I saw. I think we should just honor jersey numbers and not retire them; I think Montreal does it this way. Also, I don't think 99 should be permanently retired; again, just honored, but I guess we'll not see that rescinded. If the NHL was going to retire 99, they should have also retired 4, 9, 66, 21, and so on. Same with that "greatest leader of all time" bs and naming a trophy after that pos that took Maki's number. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Thought that Podkolzin was at fault for Q's first goal. He looked like one of the best forwards out there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Where's Wellwood Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Podkolzin crashes into the post on a breakaway and had trouble getting up. He remains on the bench for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimmy Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 That was not good. Can’t believe he’s still on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
