they should of brouht Goldobin in to translate for Podkolzin
He looks like a deer in headlights. And he should. It's a big day for him.
I’m Russian and have to say that interpretation was not good. Especially when a journalist asked whether there was a chance for Podkolzin to join Canucks earlier than expected, before his KHL contract expires, and the interpreter conveyed in Russian whether Podkolzin would consider returning to Russia after coming to Vancouver. Vasiliy was thus confused and answered that all his thoughts were on establishing himself in Vancouver.
