His conditioning was definitely nowhere near what it needs to be to be an effective big minutes guy, and I do hope he comes into camp in better condition than last year, but it would be hard to do a complete flip to great shape in 4 months; any noticeable difference would be encouraging. I missed most of late last year and didn't get to see him play hardly at all. What was it exactly that is making everyone say he was out of shape? Isn't it pretty typical for bigger guys to take longer into a season to get there legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He himself said the speed of play here was something he wasn't ready for. He said he needed to drop weight, and become fitter to play the faster paced NHL game. His first shift was less than 10 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, in his first team practice, he could barely handle the skating drills. Also, there was multiple occasions where Try looked completely winded after being out slightly longer than an average shift. Either way, I have total faith that he's improved his cardio and stamina this off-season. I'm just excited to see by how much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a mature response and an ability to self diagnose and self correct. He will likely come to camp in great shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cramarossa Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I seem to remember one seemingly long 3x3 shift where we just couldn't get a line change done and he looked likely to pass out, taking a knee between plays. I'm confident he'll be in better form for camp. Groot does not disappoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to note, I seem to recall, he had his first team practice after traveling for 20hr and after landing in Vancouver at 4am,. Immediately made the 6am practice. of course our local media made less of his travel and determination... And more of his fatigue in practice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's face it, if we're gonna be somewhat competitive we need a couple of darkhorses to clutch up. The big Russian has most of my interest this preaseason along with the rest of the young blueliners. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabcakes Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Look out Pizza Man, you're about to tumble down the depth charts. You're going to wish you didn't make team Europe and miss camp. Lol, Tryamkin is one Russian with ambition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
