  1. Every game he plays he's gonna get more comfortable and we will get to see what he really can do.

  2. He was a man among teenagers in the WJC tournaments.
    The Russian team pretty much followed his lead out on the ice.

  3. I think he should play with Boeser and Pettersson.

    Lineups like this

    Podkolizin-Petey-Boeser
    Pearson-Horvat-Hoglander
    (Unknown)-Miller-Garland
    LW-Dickinson-RW

  4. Mmmm not sure about the points, but his game is improving by the game. I think he is holding back a fair amount and it will be like watching Hoglander get better. He is faster and the only thing is getting his shot off, but that also goes for most of the team. Plus a few players last night had no offense. Depends on how he handles pressure, if he can I would still give him some hype. Yep he just has to free himself from his own shackles. Then he becomes a top power forward. My expectations may be a bit different than some.

  5. Come on Lego don't tear down podkolzin it's still early.. He wasn't the only one on the ice yesterday.. and you know how bad Vancouver fan can be ..kid gloves please lol

  6. Honestly my expectations are quite low i see him getting 20 pts ish in a virtanen 2.0 situation, but hey i hope he proves me wrong

  7. Most shots were at the crest. Not many dangerous chances other then pod and the horvat line. What do you expect

  8. 16 goals. 27 Points. He's going to get ALL those Greeeeasy goals Vancouver has missed for so long. Wait till the following year to see him REALLY become a man in the NHL.

  9. Kids gonna be a stud, a bo horvat kind of player. Character, effort, 200ft game, grit, and still gets 50-60 points a year.

  10. I just found your channel about a month ago, and I didn't want to ask, but, what are you saying in your sign off?

  11. His development took a major hit after he was drafted because of the way coaches in Russia treated him. He’s looked better every game so far, on top of adapting to a different continent. Based on the few flashes we’ve seen in pre season from getting to the net, to a few great passes there’s still lots of reason to be optimistic.

  12. He will be a rookie of the year candidate and push Hoglander to higher stats .
