Here are the links to the Demidov highlights that we were chatting about! kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6XbhJ5ubZZ_iJI enjoy!

[@razvanzamfir1545]

thanks! What I noticed: - the guy has a wicked release - the guy can dangle - his backhand/forehand transition is amazing - the guy has a good traffic vision what I didn't notice: hits; hopefully he can hit, but more importantly, he knows how to avoid getting hit. I'd hate to see another Slaf situation in the first year

I am an older fan, so, my passion is like the burning red hot ember, in the back of the fireplace. You guys are the bright firing flashes of a new log on the fire. It is very much a rubix cube in play. Everything is an assumption, very much a science project. Keeping feeding the fire, I take it with a grain of salt.

This is poetry! To sleep per chance to dream buddy!! We are dreaming about getting back to winning the way the habs you watched used to win! They are closer now then they have been since 93, but as you say, there are are still a lot of things that could derail things! Thanks for listening!

This group is starting to remind me of the 94 Expos , for those who are old enough to remember

The dude who runs the NHL draft pros channel said the Demidov-Hutson combo is what he's gonna call "shake and bake"

CHEF BOYAR-G…!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣👍👍 Thank you two, always a pleasure listening to you guys!!

[@chevals5840]

Just looking how commentators from our rival teams reacted to the Demidov pick tells you all you need to know.

[@F2PMatione]

there might been some shenanigans :D as they say everyone lies around draft :D I heard Jagr that when he was about to be drafted he was telling other teams that he doesnt know if he will play in NHL and these kind of things because he wanted Penguins to pick him... I believe more or less the same happened with mitchkow and philly... maybe there was something like that with demidov too :D I am so hyped for habs future :D holy moly... if you compare the potential that we thought in 22-23 season and how bright the future looks now, its day and night

[@joeytraer532]

Glad to see Junkie’s face, favorite podcasters are Newfoundlanders, you and Habs Digest’s Jesse Gosse

[@CS58420]

Coffee line is awesome. Almost more like small, medium, extra large though. Demidov will fit perfectly in the locker room. Bobrov wouldn't have pushed for him otherwise.

[@johnturgeon6826]

They really need to protect the players, having them play a full season in some cases in the AHL would make them hungry and add a layer of competition for spots in the line up. It is important to get these guy`s used to doing moves and not be afraid of trying new things. The more they do things, muscle memory takes over and before you know it they are pulling off things in the NHL at speed that you never would of thought capable of them.

[@joeSegreto-g5u]

I’m sure Bergevin signed that Suzuki contract thinking he was sticking the Habs with another bad deal 😂

[@HabsFanatic10]

Demidov has to be the Habs best draft pick since Guy Lafleur ❤

[@markgaudreau8053]

Carey Price was a great one too!

[@HabsFanatic10]

@@markgaudreau8053 I'm talking about a dynamic forward.

[@markgaudreau8053]

[@Doppps]

Nobody knows until he plays in the nhl for 5yrs. The excitement is there though.

[@sebastiencarrieres8825]

@@Doppps For a draft pick he's there. He has the potential to be very good. We'll see if he becomes a Yakupov or a Kucherov. Or something in between.

[@pats5375]

That intro is hilarious! 😂🍺

[@dreios]

27:21 so true! I get the same feeling

[@frogm549]

great show guys

[@Off_Grid_Gaming]

We need more Subs to this podcast channel! 🔥 Absolute legends Junkie and GK!

[@zblip22]

Can you imagine having Demidov and Michkov on the same trio? 😢

[@suicypher]

Tarasenko on a 2 year deal makes a lot of sense if we know Demidov is showing up next year. We have no other Russians.

[@shmitzysays]

Why does Hockey Junkie look exactly like you’d think he would look like? 😂

[@derfman1792]

GK and Hockey Junkie ruuuuuuule!!!

[@Barney5G]

I can’t wait to see him play for the Habs

[@joeytraer532]

The Tarasenkshow on a 2-3year deal could work depending on how much he asks $

[@simplyskrypt3914]

Imagine this In 4 years, we could pay demigod 12M$/y, and our core 4 (suzuki slaf caufield demidov) would still cost

Eh where's da links 😅

[@THEFIX709]

hahaha my bad, about to post them right away!

[@sebastiencarrieres8825]

I'm sorry but it's spelled either Ivan the Terrible or Ivan the DemiGod.

[@ricardocorreia1373]

Demigod if he turns out to be what we expect of him and if he somehow find a way to be a bust he would be Ivan the terrible because of the terrible choice that he was (of course that’s a joke we got our guy)

[@marc-etiennemercier6584]

Am I the only one who wants Demidov to play 1st C between Slaf and Caufield?

[@marc-etiennemercier6584]

I'd rather have Tarasenko the year Demidov comes. We'd have to sign him for 2 years.

[@thartley16]

Yep foundation of the future is laid. Trade all veterans over age 27. Or the players not part of the foundation. Xhekaj gets moved not part of the foundation

[@TraeTruax]

Demidov will want out just like Caufield will in a couple years

[@AshleyBidensBathTime]

🥱

[@nimnim4699]

Any particular reason or are we just saying the first shit that comes to mind?
