Prospect Info: Vasili Podkolzin, Pt. III

[HockeyWooot]

The goal in question.

Im trying to remember if I’ve seen any one handed goals before

 

[HockeyWooot]

I think he makes the team as a third liner, also getting PP2 time.

Mario Lemieux had a bunch back in the day.

Crosby had a few iirc.

Crosby had a one handed game winning wrister in the playoffs IIRC. 2018 or 2019?

Bertuzzi back hand shelf.

He had one a few games ago. Crosby has done it many times

[4Twenty]

Nice to see him best a goalie with a clean look. Been few and far between.

Looks much better since the juniors.

 

[Snatcher Demko]

Pod seems to be heating up. I see a 20-30 guy which spots him as a good 2nd liner. Unlike Virtanen, he puts in the effort and has a higher hockey IQ. Not to mention leadership qualities.

I wonder if a guy like Podkolzin could drag Virtanen into the fight. I'd be interested to see them play together before Podz gets a look in the top 6.

For sure, and it highlights the need for a legitimately good 3C to play between them. I'd even look at Pettersson there and put Gaudette or even Motte on the top line, just to spread it out and have a different look.

 

[Lindgren]

Podkkolzin has a goal in today's match (SKA leads 2-1 in the third).

edit: oops. late to the party.

 

[VanJack]

Can you imagine a 'second line' of Horvat, between Hoglander and Podkolzin? Talk about a beastly line.

And depending what happens in the KHL playoffs, Podkolzin could be signed and in the lineup by early May. No matter where the Canucks are in the Canadian Division at that time, it'll definitely be a positive storyline for the team and the city.

 

[Lindgren]

He had 11:23 today, +1, 2 SOG. (along with the goal, obviously)

 

[canuckking1]

Always seems to get hot post WJC.

I don't really have much faith in Gaudette anymore as a center but when it comes time to throw the lines into a blender this would be an interesting combo to try out.

 

[Snatcher Demko]

I wouldn't have Gaudette centering any line but he's a good finisher who is slowly improving. Problem is he needs to be properly utilized and to actually get minutes.

 

[I am toxic]

Im trying to remember if I’ve seen any one handed goals before

Crosby scored a one-handed goal.

Backhanded.

So what are we looking at next year with Podz coming over

Miller - Petey - Brock
Podz - Horvat - Hogs
Motte - Gaudette - Virtanen
Roussel - Beagle - MacEwen

we really need some bottom 6 centres. I think ideally after next year we move gaud to wing.

Need to upgrade on that 3C. Hopefully, they'll be some 1-year covid rentals.

 

[Nucker101]

Kinda scary that so many people think he’s ready to just step into a top 6 role in the NHL. The NHL is miles better than the KHL, usually only the elite KHL’ers can actually step into top 6 NHL roles.

Agreed. He might end up being ready for it but it seems expected at this point which is worrying

It’s more with our cap situation we don’t have much of a choice. Sort of like Hogs this year.

 

[Lemmiwinks]

3 point game today?
