Tyramkin is a huge body. But he's not tough.

Wasn't the fact that the Canucks wanted him to be their version of Chara a big reason he left?
Yeah but when his punches land they hurt a shitload, seems obvious other players don't want to fight him much.

Plus more importantly when Tryamkin throws a hit, it's like a freight train.

I remember opposing players see Tryamkin on their side in front of em - they curved out & got tf out of dodge aha


And I also think it's willie desjardins poor handling of Russians don't help much either -> see kovalchuk.
Can the Canucks just win a Cup within the next 5 years.

Speaking of Chara, the Bruins signed him to another one year deal.
The only HW the Canucks need

Benn was the aggressor, like I was the aggressor when fighting my older brother. Tryamkin just held him at arm's length, while Benn fllailed away.

I love the way the fight starts too, with Tree just throwing Benn away like a rag doll.

For a guy that didn't want to fight, he took out probably the toughest power forward in the league - he knocked Benn out of the game too, as I recall.

Benn hasn’t been the same player since Tryamkin laid that ice cold Siberian boot kicking on him. It’s no wonder the Dallas owner is calling out Benn these days

Did you guys see Josh Anderson pound Benn to oblivion? Gillis traded Anderson and another 4th round for Shutdown Sami.

Except none of this is true other than Jim Lites the CEO calling out Benn and Seguin. . You must wake the wife up with sticky sheets every night.

:lol:

Off-the-glass Guddy and EN McCann each have a specialized and deadly skill. When combined, it's GAME OVER.

Think McCan is still kinda young, no?
It made some sense at the time but in comparison/didn't get the same chances Jake has.

McCann was struggling in Florida

Again, Pittsburgh has a peculiar way of being a haven for some struggling players with their previous teams to look better than they are when in Pittsburgh..

Imagine a top six of Petterson, Brock, Bo, Tkachuk, Debrincat and McCann
