The Pod Squad was low hanging fruit friend, and you didn't pick it. Everyone’s a critic. (jk ) The Pod Squad is definitely a strong option. I’ll wait for other entries, but that one could be a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 You wonder how much coaches are trying to suppress young stars so they can keep them in the KHL longer. With revenues down Im sure they would prefer to keep their young studs as long as possible rather than lose them to the NHL. I hope that’s not what’s happening.

Podkolzin will slide right into our top 6 and give Petty some muscle on his line. Pod’s size, grit and being hard as nails added with his offensive gifts will make him the perfect line mate. 6”3 right now and growing into his massive frame. He has a Todd Bertuzzi body frame. He’s going to give defencemen nightmares standing in front of the net. There was a tweet that debunked that rumor that he was 6'3/6'4. He's 6'1ish.

deus.ex.makina Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 on SKA 4th line, there are 4 forwards and 1D. maybe Bragin rotates between the four forwards, and insert the D here and there. i see some good shifts from Podz (the earlier was very good), then i barely see him. Even with the less TOI, he managed to find a way to showcase him : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-DLC- Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Quote Vasily Podkolzin Podkolzin had a fantastic second half and playoffs last season and has picked up right where he left off. In five regular season games thus far, Podkolzin has scored one goal and added another assist. This production has come with him seeing regular shifts on the fourth line. His line was a force for SKA during the playoffs last year and although they are announced as the fourth line, they are playing an important role for the team this season. To start last year, Podkolzin was getting a handful of shifts at the KHL level before being assigned to the second division. Thus far this season, he is seeing regular shifts and averaging 11:47 per game. What has really stood out about his play this year is that everything that he has done well in the past seems to be turned into overdrive. Driving the net with the puck, using his big frame to protect the puck and create lanes for himself in transition, and an underrated passing game. https://www.nhl.com/canucks/news/vancouver-canucks-prospects-update/c-319019982 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And his goal song should definitely be a cut off of Ween’s The Pod. I’d suggest playing Captain Fantasy or The Stallion (pt1), ideally uncensored. Actually, add “The Stallion” and “Captain Fantasy” to his nickname options. EDIT: actually, The Stallion Pt2 would be hilarious. Pod scores, weird lo-if music comes on with “For hither not, I am the stallion...” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be a reason why he was sat for one period beyond the entire league being terrible. Wasn't this the same garbage we were hearing because Pod wasn't playing much to start last season and then he flourished as the season went on? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season after the same number of games, he was averaging just over 2 1/2 minutes per game, and if you took out his second game, he was averaging less than one minute per game. This year's average of over 11 minutes per game is a huge improvement and is very reasonable for a teenager in a men's league. Complaining about his ice time at the beginning of last season was silly and it is still silly this year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 What does the future hold for the Canucks RWers? Boeser Toffoli Podkolzin Lind MacEwen Lockwood I can see Podz playing in the bottom 6 for at least his first year in the NHL, but the kid has drive and may earn a top 6 spot after some time. Maybe a Boeser trade happens at that time, right before he becomes an RFA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling he's going to start on the fourth line to acclimatize him to the North American game and then move him up as he proves ready for more responsibility and ice time.

Captain Canuck #12 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I'd have to think that his current team's (Ska St. Petersburg's) roster would be the most accurate source to rely on and, as you can see above,they have him listed as the equivalent to 6'3", 203 lbs.

MoneypuckOverlord Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 he's not 6'4.... not a chance... he looks 6'0 or 6'1, not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKNuck96 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Different sources vary from 185 to 193cm. More recent sources seem to be 193 - so it’s possible he’s had a growth spurt recently. Or they could be partly down to with or without skates on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
