Ivan Demidov is HIM... - MASSIVE 4 point game

[@GI-Joe]

so proud of our boy he is going to be special

[@PrairieSkyHikers18]

3 goals for him on the season. Don't you remember his first goal? Off the post, got his own rebound and put it in

[@davidrmouck5608]

That first goal wasn't a shot off the post. In fact, it was a bounce pass back to himself so he could collect the primary assist and the goal. He's really that good 😉

[@JamesMcDougal-v5b]

@@davidrmouck5608 Absolutely. LOL

[@patferreira9300]

Plus an assist in his very first game

[@teespence365]

Wait. People make mistakes? I never would’ve thought lol

[@charles6180]

Great to see people jumping on the Kapanen bandwagon. Seeing him play at least 15 times live including at the IIHF he is the real deal. IMO let him play in Timra this season and then he will easily be 3C on Habs with Dvorak and Evans (both UFAs) away.

[@markorr999]

OMG the future looks so bright for the Habs! Cannot wait to see what they do this year and next. Great show guys! GO HABS GO6

[@denisranger8882]

Point per game at 6 gp. Nothing to worry about at this point. Reactions this past week were hilarious

I know right people learn nothing.. it was the same deal with Slaf in his first year and at the start of the 2nd year.

reinbacher as a third pair dman? yikes

[@plataroo]

I have something similar but a vet is needed in the forward group. As for the D Xhekaj is absolutely needed in the top 6 lineup he brings so much to the team. Matheson should be traded soon after Hutson takes over and then have a vet 7th D. Don’t forget about Konyushkov either. For goalies I can see Fowler - Montembeault while Volokhin takes time in Laval. Vets are important to any winning organization and the Habs have a great problem of so much young talent that will all hit their prime at the same time. Super exciting time to be a Habs fan!!

[@plataroo]

Also Reinbacher as 3rd pairing is not it Hutson - Reinbacher Engstrom - Guhle Xhekaj - Mailloux OR Hutson - Reinbacher Guhle - Mailloux Xhekaj - Konyushkov/Barron

[@bingli8644]

We are only missing one Price-like goalie… we will be top eight or Four in a year or two. Montembeault needs to stand out!

[@xlwolfff]

You know whats funny, demidov scores 4 points on Mitckov's old team 🤣🤣

[@andrewmoulton7429]

With how good he looked it was only a matter of time before he had a blow up game

[@lauig]

I was about to let myself get as excited as Josh on Ivan's truly superb 4 points night but then I remembered Sochi holds the record for being the very worst defense in the history of the KHL (an abysmal record they established in 2023 and equalled last season), so i'm managing to keep this under control. For Now. He is gaining in confidence game after game, is already able to setup goals to more players than Kuznetsov and Denudov who are with him on this line. It's amazing how fast he is adapting to this league.

[@randylavoy6196]

Demidov..is only 18 yrs. Old !! He is scoring against MEN ...in a pro league !! He should be ready next year to join the HABS and shine.!

[@jasonpatrick5660]

I'm so excited for this season and next! The future is SO BRIGHT!

[@jamessneddon9956]

Like the optimism and for good reason. Top prospects stood out in the rookie showcase games. Demidov showing his elite skills in the KHL First day of camp and you see the competition is already intensifying for roles on the team. Young guys serving notice that they are here to compete. Just what you want to see. Know it will make trading veterans easier if you know you have the solid replacement in house. KH is crafty and he probably has already been in discussions of interest with other teams. He will pull all the levers to make the best deal for the Habs going forward. Especially if they feel prospects are ready to make the jump to the NHL. Looks like he is going to be a busy guy.

Thanks guys.

[@Roma1251]

If I recall correctly, the Habs passed on Mitchkov because of character issues Ivan Demidov was complete opposite which is why he will be a Habs

[@TheSchwarzengger]

Some reason Michkov has a Yakupov vibes.

[@lauig]

There was, and will be, a much more important issue : have you seen how Michkov defends ? Answer can only be "No you haven't", as no one has. (i'm not even exagerating that much)

[@jerryrikki9466]

If kapanen doesn't make the top 9 he'll get sent back, top line center/pp/pk time as a top player in the SHL could be to good a development opportunity to pass up given he would enter next year on year one of his 3 year entry deal ready to make an impact

[@Veopoz]

I watched it live on my extended lunch 😅 No comments on him being moved to center? Common girls

[@vdac1068]

The graph does not show any lines

All I know is that Demidov better get Kapanen’s 91 next fall.

[@RonaldJMacDonald]

The Russians might not release Demidov unless the Canadiens are willing to pay a hefty price.

Where’s Thorpe??

[@tomsingerman2907]

[@MrFelixgwu]

Demidov making a spot for himself on a good khl team, it's more impressing then mochkov having fun on a bad team

[@LarryLevantine]

Michkov was benched and then loaned to Sochi in his draft+1 season because SKA was trying to force him into a contract extension to stay in Russia. If Michkov was loaned out because of his play or his attitude then your assessment would be more accurate but we know that isn't the case here. Michkov carried a bottom feeder team and led them with 41 points in 47 games as an 18-19 year old. Most people would say that's far more impressive than playing on the league's best team, a team that scores almost double the goals as Sochi, while completely surrounded by the very best talents in Russia like kuznetsov, and putting up comparable scoring numbers to Michkov.

[@kevinparent5764]

Demigod is our lord and savior

[@thoughtdrifter3079]

Listen to Bob Hartley on bpm sports. Demidov had 4 points vs a minor league caliber team.

[@mikepouliot3630]

2 points less than SKA before puck drop

[@LarryLevantine]

There's many factors here. He's playing for the best team in the league against one of the bottom feeder teams. He's playing alongside the very best players in the KHL like Kuznetsov. And one of his goals was an empty-netter from the far side of the ice.

nahhh I disagree, savard is such a good guy and good exemples for the young guys. He helps them settle in this new lifestyle, and is a warrior on the ice. I also think that pairing him with hutson or another young promising defensemen can benefit the team in many ways that often doesn't appear on the scoresheet.
