The reason opinions are worth so little, is the law of supply and demand, and everybody has an opinion... lots of them, in fact. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 St Pete's win 3- 2 on O/T, leading series 2 games to 1 Podz with 16:11 icetime, 1 goal, 2 SOG, 2 PIMs and 2 blocked shots 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure he’ll improve both those skills as he matures as a Canuck. The Kids a Tank. Can Not wait til the day he’s wearing a Canucks Jersey. horvat and kesler both did, someone needs to work on this kids faceoffs and turn him into a center.

In the NHL 9/10 that turnover doesn't materialize into a goal in the nhl.The defender jumped into the forecheck, and didn't come up with the puck. what makes that play so bad was that there was already 3 blue behind the puck when he decides to jump in. the forward that comes back to help's big defensive play was a stick lift (what was the point of it?), that left him flat footed as the last man back. like I said Podz did everything great, but he got gifted that perfect oppurtunity. still doesn't impress me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogs & Podz Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Okay... So I've been waiting to get a Podz jersey... I'm running out of patience (also... Kinda wanna be the first!!!) Should I just take a chance and go with #92? Silly question I know, just so pumped to get this kids jersey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The KHL is only the next tier down from the NHL. So with your rational, do any of the goals scored in the lesser leagues impress you? I mean, lets face it, at least 90% of the goalies outside of the NHL are in fact not NHL calibre. So what goals scored in lesser leagues would impress you? I believe what matters is... Regardless on how the puck went into the net, the impressive part and NHL calibre quality, is the strength, determination and second effort he displays on that goal. THAT was impressive NHL or otherwise. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wears #19 when representing Russia, but ofc he can't wear that here. #19 was already taken when he made St Pete's, and Linden Vey had taken the reverse, #91, so Podz went with #92. My guess is that he will stick with #92 when he comes here. No canuck has ever worn 92, so he would be starting a new tradition 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virtually every goal arises out of a cluster of errors - even in the NHL. Good players, in any league, are the one’s that make you pay for your mistakes - strangely enough, exactly what Podkolzin did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT was impressive NHL or otherwise. Podz did great, from start to finish of the play. But don't get me wrong, I love Podkolzin. My favorite player type is the defensive minded forward that has skill. IMO these type's of players are undervalued by GM's and produce more wins than offensive minded forwards paid similarily. 95% of the time played is away from the puck, and from what i've seen from Podkolzin is the best winger weve seen in this department for decade's. His play away from the puck is what imprsesses me not his offensive prowess. Jere Lehtinen 2.0 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a different note Googlie, may I make a friendly suggestion to you? I notice that you constantly use St Pete's as nickname for Saint Petersburg, that does not look right. Vast majority of Russians use Peter as nickname for this city. You could probably call it St Peter if you wish 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I visited there a few years ago with my godson and his mother (from Ekaterinburg) for a few days and hired a student tour guide with a car to show us around. He constantly said "St Pete's" when he was speaking English to me so I assumed that was just a transliterstion and have used it ever since. Now I know better!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googlie Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Scoreless after the 1st. Podz with 4:42 icetime. More than his linemates, so I assume he was used for PK duties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Googlie Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 St Petersburg up 2 - 0 at end of second. Podz with 8:36 on ice in game so far. Hasn't figured in either of the 2 goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
