Ivan Demidov Benched in 1st Period But Still Shows Off Skills - Inches From Goal - 10-12-24

[@mamagne800]

Demidov was going to be a 1 point a game player and the veterans didn't like it making them look bad by a 18 yo kid so the coach benched the kid afraid to loose his bench. Bunch of suckers.

[@habbernack6196]

MTL management should send Demidov the money to buy out his contract

[@sebastiencarrieres8825]

That's not allowed!

can't , the season already start

For sure but Kim Jon un of Russia is fucked

@@jay7T6 KHL has a rule which is that if the player only have one season left on his contract he cannot be loaned to another team, michkov had 3 years left

@@shoKz2427 What an odd rule

[@kenmacleod7225]

This is how KHL teams usually treat players who are leaving for the NHL the following season. It's counter-productive and deeply cynical, but that's Russia.

[@v0rrrtexxx]

Какая умная мысль... А то что Грицюк играет чуть менее 20 минут, а Никишин 25+ можно не учитывать? В половине команд молодые будущие игроки НХЛ на лидирующих ролях... Играют в первых звеньях и регулярно выходят на большинство. Но нет надо сделать необоснованный вывод и оскорбить всю страну

[@ethantyo1416]

I love how they play him in the third to push another couple goals to seal the game… How about you play him the entire game

[@davecayer]

au moins,il a eu 2 bonne chances de scoré sur le last shift,ca vaudrait la peine de payer pour brisé son contrat et l'amené avec le CH des cet année...surtout qu'il reste seulement 50mj en KHL et 80 en NHL

[@shoKz2427]

peut pas lorsque la saison est déjà commencé

[@marcroy5089]

meh. We'll have him next season and he'll be hungry. Too bad SKA doesn't care about their fans paying to watch the best possible on-ice product.

Salty coach can't handle the fact he's gonna dominate in the nhl

[@marchelloblais8553]

WHAT A BAD COACH

[@gaspardlemay]

He is not even a coach , he had no prior experience playing , nore coaching prior to being put in place as a coach for ska. A complete fraud Gaz prom Putin sucker .

[@guillaumetremblaydallaire8406]

Get demidov out of the khl and in the habs line up they are wasting his time right now

[@ov6369]

What a shitty league is it. Hope demidov gonna come more fast in montreal than we think.

[@densel.c8935]

Wtf did he do in order to get benched all the time ??? Bro should just dip from the khl and join Laval smh.

[@shoKz2427]

it's a punishment for not wanting to stay in the KHL and leave the NHL next year, the Russians don't like to "develop" or invest in a young star for 1 season

[@jay7T6]

​@@shoKz2427Because Russia is where washed up players go to extend their careers

[@guillaumetremblaydallaire8406]

The habs knew that and they still didn’t lift a finger to get him out of his contract sometime I don’t understand what going on in Kent Hughes head

[@danielmontreal007]

You clearly don't understand Demidov and SKA's contractual situation. Before you bash Kent Hughes, educate yourself.

[@renaudmichel1]

Talking like a true ignorant of the KHL, contractual agreements, and NHL draft. The kid has only this year left on his contract, he will be coming to the next training camp and will likely make the team, playing his first game with the Habs in early October 2025. He will then be a star in Montreal and in the NHL for a very long time.

[@guillaumetremblaydallaire8406]

He was a foul to trust a khl team to make things right for demidov

[@danielmontreal007]

@@guillaumetremblaydallaire8406 Who is "He"? Kent Hughes? If that's who you're talking about. The contract between SKA and Demidov was signed before the draft. It's amazing how many misinformed people are commenting on this. PS: Before accusing someone of being a "foul" educate yourself.

[@shoKz2427]

for a star offensive player he's really not bad in his zone

[@Jc21112]

Il me semble qu'il était impliqué de façon beaucoup plus constante et efficace en zone défensive avant de se faire utiliser quelques minutes par match. Est-ce juste moi?

[@jay7T6]

So you'd give up on Pavel Bure because he couldn't play D?
