Fire - when around 50% of the American population is pissed off tomorrow you’re going to see a few fires.

I think Podk will be what we wished JV would be. He'll be a physical player, who is good defensively and can pot 25-30g a season.
- Retinalz


He's going to have to learn to shoot before he can learn to score. Not good at either yet. Thats a big hill to climb if you are projecting a 30g scorer.

I voiced my opinion on Podkolzin, I don’t think he’s going to be what everyone expects, it’ll be interesting to see how he does at this tournament.

How does a kid that can’t shoot plan to score? Is he going to tip in 30 🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks Carol. Do you know how any games from the tournament can be viewed?

It would be nice to get shift by shift look at Podk instead of a highlight real to better ascertain where he's at now.

46 is around 50

I don’t know which side is going to win, and don’t really care to be honest, I just think it’s going to be close and no matter who wins, around 50% of the people are going to be upset.

If the fans all combine their wishful thinking, how can he not score 30?

The pre election polls had Hillary winning by a landslide last time. All media outlets had her win a done deal... until about 9pm eastern when the narrative changed to "How will we ever gain the public's trust again? We got it so wrong".

Only suckers trust corporate media.

Yes he's not looking like a shooter like JV and BB. I would say he's got pretty good hockey IQ and motor to retrieve pucks and set up guys.

Future 3rd line plug, and overrated first round disappointment?

That's what I was thinking as well.

I'm hoping for a solid middle 6 power forward.
A JV replacement if you will.

Polls don't predict electoral college results. The popular vote margins were pretty close. The electoral college win came down to 80K votes. Well within the margin of error. Not to mention voter suppression and tampering factors by inside and outside actors. There is a cult populism of support mixed in with the hidden crowd not willing to reveal support that skew numbers too. But we will see if seniors and young/first time voters tip the scales this time.

Will you watch the games and let us know? Maybe share a link to your insights on Podz.

Why does the team need a replacement for JV? I'd think most would want an upgrade

Seen enough of him overseas. We'll get validation after some games in NA.

Great bottom 6 skills, I agree. Nothing wrong with that other that using the 10th oa for it...

.

I said replacement because I don't think JV is in the long term plans for the organisation. I think Podz will replace that role of PWF 20-25g a year (eventually).

Of course I want him to be better, just my guess at this stage.
