And wasn't it Colorado recently? It's friggin' BS. That's why I keep saying, Podkolzin, and pretty much every player, should take boxing lessons. Not that it will prevent scum from being scum. But, it builds self-confidence, knowing you have the ability to defend yourself. Once we get a confident Podz, he's going to be a wrecking ball.

I hope he's going to be alright and regain the intensity he had prior to that BS injury. Actually, it sounds like he was playing with fire last game, so that's great to hear. He should get a call up, soon. He absolutely deserves a call up I was worried he would be timid after coming back. But it’s been the complete opposite. I know management wants him to marinate down there. But at the rate he is going he will force their hands eventually. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got Germain Loewen to replace big Vinny…but they rarely play him admittedly he’s not a great hockey player lol. But he’s a big boy with decent fisticuff abilities Kannok Leipert has gotten into more games than him. But admittedly AKL hasn’t looked great this year. They’re playing him on defence…I think they need to switch him to 4th line wing. He’s a better fit there. And you can shelter his minutes easier 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goal_thecup Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Be a nice treat if Vasily Podkolzin was called up for The Nikita Zadorov Calgary Beat Down: December 2nd, 2023 Somewhere in the Middle of Nowhere. RUSSIANS ATTACK CANADA IN COW-PLOP TOWN! No fatalities reported as yet, but several are wounded and even more missing in action. The Russians were quick to dispose of insurgent elements of the Kadristani Throat Slashers however there remained little evidence of the Fabled Brainless Mouths of Tkapukistan. POW interrogations are revealing some movement south to the swamps of Florida which the Russians are expected to reach in about 2 weeks unless the Americans reach Canada by then. Cowboy boots are trembling across the oil-soaked plains of Western Canada as they sink into the oily loon shit in their pointy-toed, high-heeled fashion. DETAILS AT ELEVEN. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MattJVD Posted December 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2023 With another 4 shots last night, Podz has now past his 22/23 season total in shots (57) through his first 15 games this year with 58. (28 games played last season). He still has not gone a game without registering at least 1 shot and has 4 or more shots on goal in 9 of his 15 games. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is like a 6-8 goal scorer in the NHL. Podkolzin got 14 goals as a 20 year old and then regressed. He will definitely be an NHL player. The talent is there. I can see him on the 3rd line getting 15 goals and 40 points and being a two way force. Not sure he is going to be a top 6 player though. But at the time of the draft he was ranked as high as #5 on some boards, so it’s not like we severely reached to pick him. I personally wanted Matthew Boldy at #10, I knew he was gonna be a top 6 guy. Other than Boldy though and the midget Caulfield, the rest of the 1st round was pretty bad… Still too early to tell on top 6 imho. I watched him closely in the World juniors the year after we drafted him. He has top end skill. He just needs some time, and don't forget he's young and could barely speak english, new country, turmoil on our team etc. Being in Abby this year is perfect for him. Let him find his way and then ease him in. Look at Hoglander. He went from lost under BB, to Abby, to now pushing for a top 6 spot and is a big part of the team so far....I never say what a player can or cannot be so early in their career. What matters is, can they skate, do they have hockey sense, are they competitive and want to get better. If all 3 are there you can't measure what they will become. Look at Burrows, even Kesler (he was said to be at best a 3c when drafted), and many others. Even better, look at Brock...no one wanted the guy as a cap dump last year....thank god. It's all in the development now, and I trust the Canucks will get the best out of him because he also wants the same.

Big, strong, fast and with a heavy shot. The coaches in Abby have helped him gain confidence and he doesn't seem to be running around anymore. I don't think he's ready for NHL duty just yet; he needs the rest of this season to really establish himself as a dominant presence. Next season, though, he should be ready for bottom six minutes in Vancouver. In an ideal world, I'd love to see him develop enough to become Petey's right winger and protector. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, his play has come a long way. He is much more aware on the ice, and impactful because of it. He just needs some more reps and games to keep building on his already good progress. Rutherford said he's in no hurry to call him up this season, but is happy with how he's developing. Should be a solid player going forward 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamonds Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 If the Canucks run into some injury trouble, I'd love love to see Podkolzin get called up and put on a line with Lafferty. He can see firsthand the hard work and fore checking ability of Lafferty to get motivated by. I think the ideal linemate for Petey is basically a more skilled version of Lafferty and I think Podkolzin can be that. Lafferty does a great job of making space for Pettersson and doing puck retrieval but doesn't have the skill to finish plays very well or keep a cycle going once there's zone pressure. Podkolzin isn't quite as fast a Lafferty but still has decent speed and is capable of playing with a similar tenacity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Podkolzin isn't quite as fast a Lafferty but still has decent speed and is capable of playing with a similar tenacity. I think he was close before his injury. I think he probably needs another couple of months to get fully back and gain the confidence that he needs. I really see him as a large piece of Canucks future, but he really needs to be playing at least middle 6 to be truly effective. It often takes power forwards longer to develop and mature, he has the strength for the NHL, he just really needs the habits for the NHL, and I do think that is close. As soon as it really sinks in that its not all about his personal stats and its about whatever it takes to get a W in the Win column, I think everything will fall into place for this kid. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
