Back in the Motherland, occasionally, Nikita's Comrades would refer to him as "Otel' Baran" or "The Ram"
Nikita "TheRam" Tryamkin will never fully dominate offensively in this league until he grows comfortable defensively. You can tell management is not expecting him to put pucks in the net....at 21 years old and so much potential, there is no need to rush offensive development.
Some people may be wondering, after 4 games in the NHL, how could a 6" 7' giant from Russia be in the running for the lady bing? But don't be "fooled" This boy is a Beast in the making, and I suggest everyone watching, remember these games, because we may never see him be so gentle again!
