  1. IHC Avtomobilist ‏@IHCAvtomobilist Mar 16 IHC Avtomobilist Retweeted Vancouver Canucks Начинаем день с хорошей новости: Никита Трямкин сейчас проводит первый матч в @NHL и уже набрал первое очко! #hcavto https://twitter.com/vancanucks/status/710293292332650496 … Translation: Let's begin the day with some good news: Nikita Tryamkin is playing right now in his first NHL game and has already got his first point!
  2. Ryan Biech ‏@ryanbiech 34m34 minutes ago With two assists already tonight - #Canucks prospect Brock Boeser has become the 1st UND freshman to reach 50 points since Zach Parise.
  3. His interviews in Russian are much more interesting than the ones in English, that's for sure
  4. NEWS 1130 Sports ‏@NEWS1130Sports 1h1 hour ago The City of Abbotsford is now talking with the #WHLGiants about moving to the Fraser Valley. Giants need to make up minds in June.
  5. Jeff Paterson ‏@patersonjeff 13h13 hours ago this #Canucks season so bizarre that a Russian giant & Justin Bieber have become central characters in the plot
  6. Some funny comment: Wyatt Arndt ‏@TheStanchion Mar 16 Tryamkin does line changes like the Undertaker gets into the ring, holy lord. Just steps over the boards.
  7. I checked the Avto and other Russian fan forums. Basically they are happy for the Nikita's debut in the NHL especially the Avto fans since he is the first player from Yekaterinburg to play here. Said that he was obviously very nervous and did not show many of his skills including his offensive game (joining the rush and staying in front of the opponent's net). Russian fans were very surprised with the NHL point counting system and said that there was no way someone could get point in the KHL like Tryamkin yesterday after two more passes and shot to the net i.e. three more hockey actions. Fans were pleasantly surprised that four Russian players played in the game yesterday, two for each team.
  8. You are very welcome. And thank you, SilentSam, Hutton Wink and many others for following and supporting Nikita in the last several months, even when no one expected him to make the NHL so soon!
  9. There is an interview with Nikita in Russian media after the first game: http://www.championat.com/hockey/article-243346-trjamkin-rossijskaja-para-zashhitnikov-v-vankuvere-jeto-kruto.html . I will try to translate... Q: How did you feel during your first shift in the NHL? Has your dream been completed? A: Sure you can say that my dream comes true. I was little nervous, first shift lasted just 12 seconds (smiling). It was faceoff, I got to the ice, tried to avoid any unnecessary moves, did not do anything creative. We did not plan such short shift (smiling), this just happened that the puck got into their zone, I skated a little bit. So that was enough for the first time. In general I am satisfied with my play but large minus is that we lost. Q: Initially you were planned to play with another Russian Andrey Pedan. Did you meet before? A: No, we did not know each other, met for the first time just today morning. He is a great guy, helps me a lot with translation and understanding situation. It is obvious that he has played a lot in NA. He has plenty of experience in playing on little size rinks so he provides me with many advices that help me on the ice. Yes, the Russian pair of defensemen is cool. Russian players have not played for Vancouver for long time and now there are two of us. Q: Were you impressed with atmosphere in the Rogers Arena? A: I like everything, the atmosphere there was just bomb, so many fans! I heard their shouting when I got on the ice for the first time. The arena literally exploded, I appreciate this very much. I understand that the local team is loved by fans and supported by them. Great that they stand by the team despite its current difficulties. Q: What did you think when you got your first point in the first game in the NHL? A: I did not understand first that I got the point. Henrik Sedin came to me and told to take the puck. I thought that there were two more passes after my shot and asked Henrik why I would need that pack (laughing). After the game I was given that puck and confirmed that I collected my first point in the NHL. Apparently Daniel and Henrik were passing to each other so you might say that my start was not bad. Q: Not many players start in the NHL with points. Do you feel that this is special moment? A: Yes obviously, but how would you not get points playing with such excellent players? The game in general was pretty good. Our mistakes cost us but this is hockey. Only one who does not do anything does not make mistake. We will try to improve the situation and get better results. Q: In the situation with the third goal when you were on the ice, would you do something differently? A: I took position taking the centre and did not suspect that the puck could go in at such angle. I did not have time to block the shot in the last moment. The coach said afterwards that that I did the right thing. Probably I could save the moment but was not lucky. Q: Did you talk to Willie Desjardins after the game? A: Yes, Wille said that I played well. I just tried not to do anything unnecessary and to make quick decisions. Comparing to the KHL, the time to think is shorter by 2-3 seconds. You think a little bit and someone is already approaching you to destroy. There were some moments with my hits. The ice size is smaller so it is easier to make hits. For instance Misha Grigorenko said that I hit pretty hard Duchene and asked why I destroyed his partner (smiling). Of course that was the first game, I was not perfect, but it will be better later on. Defensive coach told me that I was not bad. I take this as the starting point.

  11. Ben Kuzma ‏@benkuzma 8h8 hours ago Burrows on bag-skate: "I remember with AV, we used to have them every week and after every day off. It kept guys honest. I don’t mind it." Ben Kuzma ‏@benkuzma 8h8 hours ago Burrows on bag-skate: "We should have more. It keeps guys sharp. You have to do the right things day in and day out so you don’t get them."
  12. Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks 4h4 hours ago "The guys love him in the room, we're excited for him to play. He's fun to be around" - Virtanen on Tryamkin
  13. Jon Abbott ‏@HockeyAbbs 1h1 hour ago #Canucks Desjardins says it is a lot to ask of Tryamkin to play in the top 6, but that would be great. WD just wants him to fit in and play. Jon Abbott ‏@HockeyAbbs 1h1 hour ago Desjardins says Tryamkin has a lot of natural ability and he wants to give him a taste of the #NHL so he can develop and prepare for 2016-17.
  14. Jon Abbott ‏@HockeyAbbs 1h1 hour ago #Canucks Desjardins on Tryamkin after skate "I don't think his conditioning is great right now. He looked good for practice, though..."
  15. Jon Abbott ‏@HockeyAbbs 1h1 hour ago #Canucks Tryamkin adjusting "it's been a little difficult, but all of the team members have been supportive. I'm happy to have that support"
  16. This is pretty common in Russia to get married as 22-25 years old.
  17. Jeff Paterson ‏@patersonjeff 2h2 hours ago Tryamkin asked about bag skate: 'I'm very tired' he said with a smile without need for translator.
  18. Agree, problem with understanding the drills does not automatically mean problem with playing the game.
  19. Jeff Paterson ‏@patersonjeff 16m16 minutes ago #Canucks Hamhuis on inviting Tryamkin over for dinner: “We’ll see if we can get enough food on the table for the big Russian”.
  20. Yeah weird that no word about his latest injury from January. Maybe Canucks don't want to bring the Vancouver media's attention to this and so do I
