Carol Schram: Canucks' prospects Podkolzin & Costmar get rolling at World Jr Championship Vasily Podkolzin's Russian team got started with a win over USA on Friday, and Arvid Costmar has opened the scoring for Sweden on Saturday, as Canucks prospects are off to a good start at the World Junior Championship.

Costmar looks very good in this game

Thanks Carol.

Any New Years resolutions you are looking at for 2021?

Thanks Carol.

RD Thinks Rathbone may be more NHL ready than OJ. Excellent.

He's quick eh. Knows where to go.

Did he tweet that?

Now Costmar's taking the d-zone draw as Sweden tries to defend a 5-on-3.

His scrummy approach works — Sweden's able to kill off the final seconds of the first period.

RD's two bits on Pod, thinks he'll excel in the NHL, won't be a huge goal scorer.

He plays regular PK for his Linkopings. Not Centre though.

He is the best centre for Sweden at this tournament.

Costmar is Sweden's ice-time leader among forwards after one period, at 6:54.

In addition to his goal, he went 4-for-6 on draws. Doing really well for a bubble guy who might not even have made the team is not for Sweden's Covid issues!

He must have read a scouting report about Podkolzin, good for him

I know, I read the same one.

I agree with what Ruby said on the last thread, that his skill set will lend itself nicely to be a complementary player in the top six.

At 10 in any draft, that's perfectly fine.

The market is just piling the pressure on the kid.

Craig Button going on and on about how outstanding Broberg is.

Why hasn't someone come up with a mute button for when he talks about certain players. There has to be the technology by now. Like when they swear just beep it out. I should be able to pick and choose who I want to hear him talk about.

Can Costmar be the 3LC future Canuck solution?

How old is the remote control on your TV? Volume down, Mute .

Bro. Do your dekes. Growing heartBOTCH
@Hockey_Robinson
And you know you overated him based on one Hlinka U18 tourney. He did nothing before and nothing after. He will never be a top line producing NHL player and based on last night his defensive play is lacking also.

@Hockey_Robinson
Canuck fans have always thought their prospects were better than they actually are. Based on them being rated 11th overall when they should be in the 20s, so does Eliteprospects.

@Hockey_Robinson
No , the drafting of Podkolzin was based on A Small sample size! Like I said he was average before and after the U18 Hlinka.

This guy is a "huge canucks fan"

I think what you could call this is "Captain after the fact."

Won't post anything prior but has no problem making statements after the results.

I like to hear the rest of what they say.

Thanks Carol!
You're World Junior opening day game plan was impressive! Another reason why I like you so much.

Well that turned into a blow out.

I was told the line for Canada is 8 against Germany. Or however you would put it.

Buddy said he was going to take Germany to cover. I don't know.

Nice shot #topshelf

80m ppl in Germany. Idk that. Over twice Canada. If we had 80m our economy would be flying given our natural wealth in resources etc. Aah but capitalists fear a socialist government lol
