Boy do I miss the Salo days. Yes, confidence and consistency to shoot will create many opportunities other than the shot itself. Wish Edler would be less picky looking for perfection and concentrate on general direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he’s averaging about 3-4 shots a game now.. hopefully we get to see the positive changes for ourselves soon (Tryamkin).

He was probably drinking and telling that story at the bar... https://www.tsn.ca/breaking-speed-limits-1.930596 It was Popular Mechanics that published the data. Now what the methodology was in 1968 is at issue. (Fast radar gun? Maybe miscalculation of the speed the speed over the distance was incorrect?) http://hockey-blog-in-canada.blogspot.com/2009/12/hardest-shot-ever.html I've also seen the reference to Hull's shot from the National Research Council radar gun? But I'm finding it hard to verify that. In fact the links on several sites refer to no longer archived articles. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, he has been using his wrist shot more this year, keeping the shot low, and looking for deflections - it has meant more of his shots getting through.

Hairy Kneel Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Watched Tryamkin today. His team lost to a strong MMG team that was bigger and controlled the tempo ( probably a early playoffs fave) Tryamkin skated well but just too many strong forwards and Kovar isn't the goalie he was last year. Honestly still hoping for a early Avto exit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if team tank is dying for a team to root for, then they can jump over to Avto because the Canucks aren't going to appease them this year. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Slegr Posted January 3, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 3, 2020 Tryamkin’s size and ability could really help our team come playoff time. You don’t get through big teams like Vegas and St. Louis without big defense. Red rover, red rover, we call Tryamkin over! 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavel the Bure Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I hope I am wrong but my feelings is Tryamkin will never play in Vancouver again. He is comfortable in Russia now, he was Super unhappy here (I read/watch many interviews in Russian language), and finally I don't think (personal opinion) he is mentally ready to play at the high level under constant pressure. Again, I hope I am wrong..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I hope I am wrong..... Do you have any of those interviews that you could translate for us here? Everything I've heard and read seems to indicate he wants to give the NHL another goal, especially with him keeping tabs on the Canucks (and his buddy Goldy) while keeping his social media of him in a Canuck uniform. His agent seems to indicate it's not going to take long to get him signed here too. We have a better team now that can support him a lot more, so I'd say he would have less pressure this time around and he seems like he's more in shape and likely more mentally prepared to make the jump back over here with his earlier experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I hope I am wrong..... IMO it was his young wife who really struggled living here. Tree is protecting her, like he should be, in interviews by saying it was him. If she is mature enough now to live so far from home then Tree will be back. He’s a good husband, and he should take care of her. 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to listen interview if possible, always prefer video to reading newspaper/news. I never witnessed his complains on video, interesting video from 04/27/2016 about his first season -high level of organization in Vancouver, good fans, smaller ice, a lot of attention from press, daily questions, like under microscope, first shift in NHL 12 sec, good words towards Sedins ...missing family, 1.5 month alone. At the same time September 27/2017 Sport-Express interview : In Vancouver every where smell of marijuana . Question : Pavel Datsyuk many times said that he wants to return home Answer: Life without Russians-FINISH, always want to go home, its normal, here is my city, my team, I start to play hockey here. Question: You signed contract for 3 years but after that Canucks still own rights for your service? Answer: Do you think I am out of luck ? I will not say that Canucks bad team or something like that. At the same time I am not sure if I go over sea after my contract finish in Russia, will see, If they want me, If contract will be good for me, too early to say. Question: Recently, one of Vancouver portal (not sure newspaper or internet) have a poll if you come back, 51% said NO. Answer: That's it, decision made (laughing), will see, to early to say, to early to even think about this Question: Jim Benning said that you went home because of "family issues" ? Answer: Family and hockey together, not a single problem Question: about Goldy and at the end asking why he is come back, not enough ice time ? Answer: Many times I was on the bench, No-not many times, always me ! And I don't understand why ? I am playing good game and 5-7 minutes before the end, they put me on the bench without any explanations, a little bit unusual. He is good player and person, he is also comfortable and HOME now, if you force me to bet...I will bet against his come back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I hope I am wrong..... He is making less than a million there. He could make 3-5 million here. I think his family will like that math. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
