ok but I was just kidding because you said "couch" instead of "coach". Found the typo quite funny

Has he been working on his skating with a specific trainer? You hope he is working on his weaknesses and working out especially. Very easy to get out of shape with a long layoff, especially when you are 240 +

He’s 215ish at this point, skating 5 days a week in Halifax and then an hour here and there on weekends in Cape Breton for the past 7 months
Nice, it's good that he's trimmed down and is on the ice, do you know who he is training with?

Not too sure, but being in Halifax I would imagine probably Jill Plandowski (who’s son will be a probable top 30-40 pick this year). That’s who most of the Nova Scotia guys see in the summers.
It's probably too late now but I would think it would have been good for him to go play in Russia in the KHL/VHL for this season before camp. On the other hand, he kept skating regularly and seems to enjoy living in North America

Is that allowed? He’s the chief amateur scout for Arizona, didn’t think he’d be able to skate and train with guys from other organizations.
Sokolov, or sokol is a falcon-faucon in Ukrainian. Russian empire added a lot ovs.......at the end of family names in the christian orthodox roman empire manner. Sokolov reminds me a lot of Cam Neely's type of the player. Just a pure force of nature. Not the best skater out there, but ploughing people over with a huge size and strength. Neely was a pure sniper, who was not famous for his footwork, but he loved to score goals and delivering earth shattering hits. If Sokolov will mold into something like this, it will be very entertaining to watch.

Reminds me a bit of Lucic; however, I hope that he turns out better than Lucic. It would be an accomplishment if he did turn out to become the second coming of L.

Spending money you don’t have on things you don’t need
I view Christmas as three different things:
1. The celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ in the Christian faith.
2. An annual family festival where gifts are given to friends and family and everyone over eats and drinks.
3. A nice break from working for a living.

It could be a subjective thing. Within the context of the tweet Sokolov's billet mom is likely referring to the ideal of being generous to the less fortunate and seeing Christmas as an opportunity to be more self less and giving.
I posted it because it is good to see that Sokolov is a character guy. He seems to genuinely care about others and doesn't have the big ego that can sometimes come with professional athletes. He is an easy guy to root for and there are lots of examples that he could become a big part of this organization both on and off the ice.

I think Sokolov ends up as our next Zack Smith.
Character overeager that has the will (along with size and a scoring touch) to succeed and determination to battle his way into becoming a real pro hockey player....but with a little 2020 style twist....
Instead of him being a good old hardworking Canadian prairies farm boy from the Dub - this time around hes a big hearted, nice and charitable Russian kid from the Maritimes playing in Q....

More death, destruction and pandemics unfortunately.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Seriously though it’s nice to get together with the friends and family and have a few brews.
