The first great Russian coach, Anatoly Tarasov was asked what he did to improve the Russian team so much... in his book he said something to the effect that he got all of the film he could find of Bobby Orr, broke down his skating, and trained the Russian players of his day to skate like Orr. From the results of the '72 series, he may have had some success. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenhodgejr Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 The KHL seems like a great development league for him. No rush. Still lots for him to learn in that league. When he comes to North America he should be able to step into the NHL and be an impactful player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In September 1972 I was 9.5 years old living is USSR and I watched each and every second of those games. Even my mom and dad who were not hockey or sports fans in general, and never watched sports before and after, watched all games . Streets were empty. Tarasov, who came up with this Summit idea and got approval from the very top (Politburo) was by that time fired as a head coach of USSR national team (rumors were he refused a play a tie game with cheho-slovac team during Olympic games in Sapporo, Japan in 1972. Tie game would allow cheho- slovac team get the second place, which would be a great deal for propaganda, but USSR won 5-2 and second place was taken by USA team) Any way, just my 2 cents... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post higgyfan Posted January 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2020 Interesting article on Podz game at the WJs. https://canucksarmy.com/2020/01/08/what-the-world-juniors-told-us-about-vasili-podkolzin-and-nils-hoglander/ One thing that always strikes me when I watch this kid play is his tremendous strength. He appears to be a beast with the puck, often shedding off players hanging onto him with ease. His engine is always cranking, while his playmaking and passing are excellent. I can see why Larionov compared him to Messier; not so much what made Mess a star, but the similarities in beast mode, a true leader who plays huge minutes and at 18yrs old, is the most reliable player on his team. I think this young player is going to bring something to the Canucks that we have never seen. He will be a huge factor in the Canucks playoff success in the future. 4 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was in Moscow for the 1974 WHA series. What will always stick with me was 4000 drunk Canadians sitting in the arena looking across to a solid Russian crowd dressed in black. The Russian crowds were very quiet for the first 2 games but let loose for the final 2 games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although it did work the other game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battlemonger Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Love it when wingers can play their off wing. I played LW as a RH shot and I found it easier to protect the puck on the backhand and when given a chance to cut inside, there was more net to hit when shooting. If we didn't need wingers on the right side like we do, I'd love to see a line with Pods on the right side and Virt on the left side at one point.

But I feel like I protected the puck better as a RW. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now looks to actually be earning regular decent ice time on a KHL team which is a hard place for a kid to earn those. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
