The same happened to me when I came to Canada - all Russians are perfectionists

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"

This is kind of bad thing if you call a Russian "wood" or "oak" - this means dumb not a "tree"

I would expect 8 like at world junior but it is taken by Tanev. For some reason Tryamkin likes infinity sign...

Let's see what number he is going to have, it might be 99

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.

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.

Most likely your grandfather came from the Western part of Ukraine that was part of huge Austrian-Hungarian Empire at that time...

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.

Well, considering that some other rookie threads hit three-digit number of pages like Brock Boeser - 157, Jake Virtanen - 697, Brendan Gaunce - 223...

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.

Yeah and Malkin means double little since translation for Mal is "little" by itself

Fedorov means son of Fedor (like Fedorson). Fedor is Russian version of Theodor with stress on the first syllable...

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.

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...

Right, two syllables with stress on the first one. I think the translator changed pronunciation just for simplicity sake.

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).

Plus, as I said before, there is adjustment for 14-hour time difference between Yekaterinburg and Vancouver.

Jeff Paterson ‏@patersonjeff 6h6 hours ago Everybody say it together now: Tram-kin. Got it? Good. Brad Ziemer ‏@BradZiemer 6h6 hours ago Greater Vancouver A, British Columbia Told by Russian interpreter that Tryamkin's name is pronounced Tram-kin. Y is silent #Canucks Actually this is not true. Pronunciation of letter Я in his last name ТрЯмкин is similar to the one in word "young" i.e. it sounds like / jʌ /.

Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks 5h5 hours ago Tryamkin has stayed in touch with Horvat, Virtanen and McCann since being drafted. #Canucks Vancouver Canucks ‏@VanCanucks 6h6 hours ago Intrigued... Tryamkin skated for an hour this morning after getting just 45 mins of sleep after arriving in Van.

Link to his last interview with Avto club (in Russian) dated March 9: http://www.hc-avto.ru/news/1234/ First several questions were about regular season and playoffs. Then some questions about Vancouver. Basically Tryamkin said: The season was over, we lost in playoffs. I thought why not go and try instead of two months of vacation. In this case I would know what to expect for next season. My physical attributes should help. I would not be surprised by playing on small ice rinks. I have been at the training camp with four-five players who are with Canucks now. All are nice friendly guys, two of them wrote to me after the season end and asked if I was going to come. I played against one of them Bo Horvat during the world junior championship in the bronze medal game. Every hockey player dreams to play in the NHL. I have not talked to the club management yet, all communications were through my agents. Vancouver wanted me to come for long time. Yes, you can say that Vancouver is my favorite NHL team now since they drafted me and signed contract. Right now my main goal is to make the team. Then we will see how the next season starts. If I am going to be sent to the AHL, then I would possibly return to Avtomobilist and play for my favorite home club.

The KHL site officially listed him at 116 kg that is good for 255 pounds.

Especially with Edler most likely gone for the season: TSN Radio VancouverVerified account ‏@TSN1040 6h6 hours ago Benning on Edler: Well, he has a broken leg. I would think he's probably out for the year.

TSN Radio Vancouver ‏@TSN1040 6h6 hours ago Benning on Tryamkin: We'll monitor when he plays the games where he's at and see if he needs time in the minors.
