I had the pleasure of going to Nikita Tryamkin‘s Vancouver Canucks debut versus the Colorado Avalanche and I left that feeling night impressed. Impressed with Tryamkin, not the Canucks. Aside from their improving draft position, there’s not a lot to like about the Canucks lately.
Tryamkin though… He’s a big boy, that part is definitely true. The TV screen doesn’t do him justice — when he steps off the bench, you know he’s on the ice. You can’t not notice. Maybe in part because he kind of just steps over the bench like a regular human steps over left out toys on the living room floor.
