He did play for the Jr. SmokeEaters who had a number of the World Champion SmokeEaters involved with the team. The Rebels had a young kid named Chernoff, if memory serves, who was an incredible talent. One of those stories where his talented far exceded his ability to overcome personal problems. Travis had a lot of support and good family. My comments were in light humour Bouds’, If Castlegar was truly his home, I know historically there was, and still exists a presence of the Russian Doukhabor community spread throughout the Kootenays. No doubt that Green would have friends from his childhood and youth who were of a, or almost direct Russian descent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Googlie Posted December 28, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 28, 2019 Would be interesting to see him paired with Myers - in front of Marky and behind MacEwen-Graovac-Bailey. The average height would be 6'6" Followed by Hughes and Stecher in front of Mikey, and behind Palmu-Motte-Hog, where the average height is 5'6" {I exaggerate - 5'9"} 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was funny his first season back in the KHL he was in beast mode and I think their coaches toned him down some. He already has a rivalry with a couple players here. And I think he will handle the after works better with Roussel giving him pointers. Plus he could bear hug Reaves through the boards if he needed to. That was a good sized forward he ragdolled yesterday. Plus his hits are clean hits which can be devastating and if he hit with malice like Wilson? Beware because he's got a real protective streak. He's injured guys on clean hits cause he's a heavy hitter. ... not a bad defensive end tactic to demolish a guy in with a hit,. Get the stop in play,. and reset with a faceoff ?.? he did it with Richardson.. and a few others out of frustration of getting hit hard went after him. kids a beauty,. Be gnarly when he’s pissed. !, 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Elias Pettersson Posted December 29, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2019 On 12/27/2019 at 5:14 PM, Captain Canuck #12 said: He might just have some trouble adjusting to the retribution that always follows throwing a big hit in today's NHL. He should be able to handle himself against most players, but it will be interesting to see what happens when Reaves, Wilson or even Chara comes after him to 'avenge' a hit thrown on one of their teammates. I'm not sure if his size advantage will be enough to overcome their fistic experience advantage. And if he does get beaten in a fight, how will he respond? Will he stop throwing hits? Chara will be retired in a year or two. Reaves is only 6’1” so Tryamkin can learn what Chara has learned which is to use his long reach to take away the opponent’s right hand punch. Wilson is a tough guy but if Tryamkin ever learned to box he could be a nasty piece of business. Tryamkin can hurt guys with legal hits, just like Wilson. He’s not big, he’s actually a giant. Just look at his head and his hands and his feet. He’s more like 7’0” than 6’7” in terms of his overall body. And he’s much heavier than Chara or Wilson. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife comes from Blueberry Creek and her mother knew the Green family well. In those days and even today the Doukhabor community is a big part of the area. When Larionov played for the Canucks he traveled to Grand Forks and spent time there. Not sure if he made it to Castlegar. My take on Larionov is that he is a solid influence on Goldy, Pouds and I hope Tryamkin. Seeing him on the bench at the WJC is a great sight. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he hits it looks like he's not really trying. He slammed his guy into the boards the guy bounced off (similar to his Pirri hit against Anaheim) then as they continued the guy haphazardly gets in Tryamkins way again and he gets shoved down to the ice, ragdoll style. I don't think it will take Tryamkin long to adjust, especially the hitting part. They lost 4-3 in OT. I don't think Tryamkin was on the ice for any goals against. I hope the miss the playoffs and then he's available right away. Avto lost yesterday as well,. And their next 3 games are against the 3 teams directly positioned after Avtomobilist. Avto 2nd in their div, but only 5 points to drop them out of playoff contention. 21 regular season games remaining,. Last one is Feb. 27 th. Then.. ?? 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post HockeyHarry Posted December 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2019 So I guess we’re close to starting the count down to Big Tryms return. i can’t wait to see him in a Canuck Uni again. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For us old West Coast Loggers, that rounds out like: 164 kilometres per hour = 101.905 miles per hour. That will give a mountain a Mowhawk.

While this may be true, 101.9 is just fine with me as long as he's got some accuracy to his shot. Boy do I miss the Salo days. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
