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. Much appreciated! 1 hour ago, Bang Bang Boogie said: Yup that was Tryamkin. His skating is actually pretty amazing, considering his size. As Benning said, he looks like a 6'1 guy when he skates.

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. Thx for the notes! Tell his agent that this country was built by amazing immigrants who didn't pronounce things properly. We welcome him and all others with open arms, broken English or not 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously I have to temper my expectations but I see nothing but upside to this. You're welcome. I love hockey, the Canucks, and to enjoy the locker room. The first I can still do. Alas the days of locker room fun are far behind my furry @$$. i find CDC fills that void a bit. i saw this big Russian at the world juniors one year, and was shocked he wasn't drafted. I thought, for such a tall guy, he skated really well. Then we drafted him, and I got excited. I can't hardly wait to see him out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I think were silly assuming who is stronger just by a couple damn photos. That's the most laughable way to measure thier strength. Second who cares how strong Tryamkin is, he's most likely very strong, he has the weight and obviously can skate, lets let him develope his game in NA then well see what he can bring to the table... Sometimes I wonder why we bother explaining to people who don't want to listen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 3 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! If two muscles are equal in length and shape, how is one bulkier than the other? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard on the radio today that calling a Russian person a "tree" is an insult, and Tryamkin didn't like that nick name. Also heard, or read here, that his interpreter said Tryamkin didn't want to speak publicly without an interpreter because he didn't want to sound silly mispronouncing rules. Is this respect for precise language something to be expected from Russian people? From our western POV, if you are 6'8" and 240 you really don't care what other people think of how you speak. Heck Alf is 4' and a puppet, and he don't care a lick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is kind of bad thing if you call a Russian "wood" or "oak" - this means dumb not a "tree" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about Tryamkin not wanting to mispronounce English words, and that's why he wanted the translator? Is this concern for precise language a Russian societal concern?
