  1. Playoff series is over...
  2. Wow, thanks to Nikita, Canucks team is popular in Russia now. There is large article posted last night describing day of regular NHL fan and the Canucks fan is taken as an example: http://www.championat.com/hockey/article-243060-go-canucks-odin-den-iz-zhizni-bolelshhika-nkhl.html This is written in Russian obviously but pictures look so familiar
  3. Interesting that for months I was translating and posting here some articles from Russian media about Tryamkin. Now it is quite opposite - Russian media is translating and posting info from the Vancouver sources every day. And I did not know that Nikita was so popular in Russia. Tryamkin moved from one young inexperienced team to another young inexperienced team, he should feel like home in Vancouver
  4. It was actually even more impressive: Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks Mar 10 Intrigued... Tryamkin skated for an hour this morning after getting just 45 mins of sleep after arriving in Van.
  5. Just found on Instagram that it takes him 32 hours to get here: nikita_tryamkin88Vancouver, British... nikita_tryamkin88На месте✈️✈️✈️32 часа в пути прошли))) Not sure why unless he took train from Yekaterinburg to Moscow instead of flight...
  6. Just notice in the picture and then found in Twitter this: Jon Abbott ‏@HockeyAbbs 6h6 hours ago Even Tryamkin's skate laces are big...the loops flop over his skates and almost touch the ice #Canucks #TSN1040
  7. The same happened to me when I came to Canada - all Russians are perfectionists
  8. Why is everyone missing the last part of the Henrik's notice? Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks Mar 10 Henrik Sedin, although excited about Tryamkin, warns about the hype. "Adjustment will take time, he's not Chris Pronger - hopefully someday"
  9. This is kind of bad thing if you call a Russian "wood" or "oak" - this means dumb not a "tree"
  10. I would expect 8 like at world junior but it is taken by Tanev. For some reason Tryamkin likes infinity sign...
  11. Let's see what number he is going to have, it might be 99
  12. No, been engineer almost all my life - but was graduated from an ordinary Soviet school in 1975 That was time when education was pretty good.
  13. Thank you. This is my pleasure actually to share some historical knowledge with you, ladies and gentlemen! Back to Tryamkin. I completely agree with your post: He seems like the type of guy that would give everything for his team. That is why the Avto fans and teammates love him.
  14. Most likely your grandfather came from the Western part of Ukraine that was part of huge Austrian-Hungarian Empire at that time...
  15. I just think that this is important to call the player names right way. Interesting fact: original surname of our Burnaby Joe Sakic is Šakić (Croatian origin) and it is pronounced Sha-kich. Fortunately Lucic (Lju-chich) is pronounced correctly so things change... BTW Horvat in Russian and some other Eastern European languages means Croatian.
  16. Well, considering that some other rookie threads hit three-digit number of pages like Brock Boeser - 157, Jake Virtanen - 697, Brendan Gaunce - 223...
  17. This is interesting topic. Tryamka is originated from ancient Greek first name Trofim ( Trophime in French, Trofimo in Spanish and Italian). In the Middle Age Russia only noble people might have full name and ordinary people carried those "little" additions at the name end. Eventually a son of some Tryamka got surname of Tryamkin and became founder of the Tryamkins family.
  18. Yeah and Malkin means double little since translation for Mal is "little" by itself
  19. Fedorov means son of Fedor (like Fedorson). Fedor is Russian version of Theodor with stress on the first syllable...
  20. Regarding two syllables, as a common rule stress is mostly on the first one for pure Russian surnames like Tryamkin with few exemptions like kol'TSOV. For Ukrainian surnames it is mostly on the second syllable like pe-DAN. Bure is pronounced bu-RE because it is of German origin.
  21. It depends of how last name was created, Russian language is historically very complicated in that regard. And it is FE-do-rv (last O is silent) At the same time it is chu-BA-rov, mo-GYL-ny... SVECH-ni-kv --- ni-CHUSH-kin...
  22. Right, two syllables with stress on the first one. I think the translator changed pronunciation just for simplicity sake.
  23. Irfaan Gaffar ‏@sportsnetirf 6h6 hours ago After careful discussion with Shorty, @HockeyAbbs @DTSN1040 and of course @NoJoryous I think #Agent88 is Tryamkin's nickname. #Canucks His nickname is "tryama88" - Nikita uses it for Instagram, Facebook and VKontakte (Russian version of Facebook).
  24. Plus, as I said before, there is adjustment for 14-hour time difference between Yekaterinburg and Vancouver.
