I told him the fans are excited about Tryamkin and that we think he is doing a good job (unlike most of CDC). He thanked me and said that there is lot to look forward to. 3 minutes ago, RRypien37 said: Legit fight or just messing around?

Normally they look pretty choppy but he seems to have a pretty fluid stride. It's also great to hear he's chumming around with the guys. This is how you team-build. It's awesome to watch all these young guys growing and gaining chemistry together Yup that was Tryamkin. His skating is actually pretty amazing, considering his size. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkpoet Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Was hank drunk or high this morning? That was as candid as i've ever seen him in an interview .... I get he wants people to chill out a bit but I also got the feeling some of that was tongue in cheek like he was thinking "it's gonna be fun when this guy hulk smashes Ferland" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MeanSeanBean Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Pretty stoked to see him skating with Hammer. In a earlier interview Tryamkin said he didn't care if he played left or right D, so it would be nice if we can settle him on the right side to fill the lack of depth we have there. Playing with a defensive specialist may also help smooth out some jitters defensively he could be having. It's a completely different game over here and there is no one better on the team to learn from then Hammer. Also could set the foundations for a possible Pedan/Tryamkin pairing in the future, which is terrifying and exciting. As for the Sedin comments, I took those as not only jest, but as a message to fans and media. He's not going to start immediately gushing over the kid and hailing him as our savior... We got that covered already. He's setting the bar at a realistic level, it will likely be very tough for him to adjust his game to North American style and to be up against the best hockey players in the world. He will likely have some serious... Growing pains... Heh. The reason I'm leaning Hank's comments toward playful banter and not a curt comment is the Pronger joke at the end. Chara is the obvious comparison that has been used regularly, so throwing a curve ball like that shows humour. Least, that's how I interpreted the interview.

hearditall Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) 10 hours ago, MadOgre said: Oh and just to clarify. Longer muscles have more strength because hey have more fibers then a shorter muscle. If you have a longer bulky muscle it will be exponentially stronger then the shorter muscle. You would have to have a short muscle with like 5 to 10 times the bulk to start to compare to a lager long muscle. But the long muscle always has improved strength because muscles are not designed to be shaped like basket balls. The linear shape of the muscle is the force multiplier. Not the bulk. Two muscles being equal in length and shape. The larger/bulkier muscle will have greater strength. The protein muscle fiber size does play a role but not nearly as much as you would think. AKA diet and training program. The one variable that people leave out is the Adrenal Hormones that have significant effect to the strength that an individual displays. Its the very reason why your leg muscles are the strongest in your body = Because they are the longest in your body! Well even that's not quite true. The strongest muscles in your body are the Erector Spinae muscles. Why? Because they are the longest in the human body and have the ability if they spasm hard enough to snap the human spine in half! Anyways back to the argument: Is Zdeno Chara a superior athlete to Nikita Tryamkin? NO They are the same size. Nikita Tryamkin as advantage over Zdeno Chara for the simple fact that he is younger and has bulkier muscle groups then Chara. Fact. Chara has a flat chest and in his photo shoot pic he is basically showing off his ripped abbs which are only visible because of his lack of body mass/FAT. Tryamkin has the same muscle groups and quite possibly in better shape because he has more body mass to move with them on a daily basis. The only reason you don't see Tryamkin with ripped abbs like that is because he didn't spend 48 hours dehydrating himself with salt. What is abundantly clear is that Tryamkin has superior upper body size and therefore superior strength over Chara. That my uneducated friend is a fact! Strength also comes from each individual athleticism plus the heart & determination. Never have I ever seen the Biggest Longest person win every physical sporting test.??? eg. Gretzky, Bure, Ronning, Gallagher, Messi, Maradona, F. Edgar, GSP, K. Puckett, Apolo Ohno, Ben Hogan, Y. Berra, Emmet Smith, H. Richard, B. Sanders, Pele, Meisha Tate, B Orr, M. Hamm, Tyson, Fedor Emilianenko etc. etc. etc... Edited March 12, 2016 by hearditall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post luongotv Posted March 11, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2016 Went to the practice this morning and spoke at length with Tryamkin's (also represents Granlund and Zhukenov) agent. Says that Nikita is the kind of guy that will be the first on the ice and the last one off, a real hardworking player. Nikita will bleed and lay down everything on the line for his team and his teammates. His English is about 30/100 (rough scale estimate), and his main concern is being made fun of for not pronouncing something correctly. Says that he wasn't too impressed with Nikita's comment about wanting to surpass Chara, wants him to see him as a superstar and a role model as opposed to someone he needs to surpass. Henrik's comment about him not being a Pronger hurt him at first, but with some clarification he recognizes that it wasn't made to downplay his skill, rather meant to taper expectations of fans. Side Note: --> Says Zhukenov is an amazing face-off man, says if he takes 17 draws he's almost certain to win 14 of them. Says the Canucks got a real gem in him. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our boy NT will be better! Yeah. They were both great d men , but Pronger was by far the best shutdown d man of his era, unpredictable and mean. Played almost 30 minutes a night and controlled the pace throughout. Guy was a dink , but an absolute beast. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pronger makes Gordie Howe look like a cherub. Remember the last really "big mean d man" we had? Andrew Alberts. 6'5 220 lbs Everyone was hoping he'd come here and keep the house clean... but every time he touched a guy he was in the sin bin Seems to happen whenever we get a player like that. The refs just flock to them like a fly to $#@.... so he toned his game back and wasn't nearly effective afterwards, then to top it all off, he gets boarded from behind by Malkin (no penalty of course) gets a concussion, and never plays again.
