[Farmboy Patty]

That 91 Habs jersey is gonna be sweet

91 & 92 on the same line will be a treat to watch.They will pull people out of their seats!

 

[Kennerback]

Thought they wanted to retire 11 in honor of him

It's just a number but 91 gets style points from me.

Brendan Gallagher will always be the real #11 in my heart.

 

[PavelBrendl]

Always loved #91 cuz Fedorov was my favourite player as a kid. Ready for Demidov to follow in his footsteps for the Habs.

 

[Jabba11]

Just want Demidov to follow the footsteps of the first ever Russian player to win the Stanley cup. (Meaning, I want him to win the Cup for us) and bring the same type of excitement (but better work ethic duh)

 

[Gally11]

He has an incredibly rare combination of skill, maturity, work ethic, charisma and confidence while lacking cockiness. I’m not saying he’s going to be generational or anything but I just can’t remember the last time I saw that combination of traits in a player. Sometimes you get all of the above without the charisma or there’s an incredible amount of cockiness. McDavid for instance can lack charisma on camera, or even Bedard who I’ve met a few times through my work, he’s just super serious about his craft, which there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that you’re paid to play hockey. I just think from a marketing standpoint he should be an NHL dream.

He’s very impressive, I haven’t heard anything about his parents but they’ve raised him well.

He reminds me of this version of the Artiste hahaha

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

Slafkovsky is the same. The confidence is off the charts but never in a bad or disrespectful way. His head can fit through a door lol.

Fedorov my all time favorite player as well

Would freak out if Demi indeed got the 91

Agreed! Would say Slaf wouldn’t compare in skill department however, even while also believing Slaf has a ton of it, Demidov is just another level. Just happy to have both; I guess Slaf does beat him in size though!

 

[Hannibal]

A number is a number, but while we’re at it, #91 would be sexy on Demidov.

No homo.

Both very skilled, but they impact the game in completely different ways.

Great problem for us to have.

Team #91 here.

 

[Habs]

thank god names like Jeff Reinbacher or Scotty Kotkanimei were not available or we would have never picked the future Russian star.

 

[morhilane]

That's my hope but how can you be so sure?

Demidov doesn't care about money (he had no idea what to do with his MHL cup winning bonus), doesn't care about playing in the AHL if he's not NHL ready. His agent is known to push for his clients to come to NA as soon as possible.

 

[ahmedou]

"My dream is to play the NHL. I'll do everything for that. Nothing will stop me."

 

[Whalers Fan]

He can't wear that number, it was retired in the honor of the goat, Scott Gomez.

Actually, I think the jersey was burned, not retired.

After watching his last couple of games, I really hope Habs management were willing to pay the price tag to move up if they felt he wasn’t falling to 5.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Idk about you guys, but I see Datsyuk more than anything else.

There might be something about him playing at C.

 

[Habs]

Yup, also I see some Pavel Bure when he enters the zone, but I'm an old prick and always wanted Pavel in Montreal, not Valeri

 

[calder candidate]

Demidov 91, Laine 92 that will look good

[Pompeius Magnus]

I kinda like him as a man of few words and great conviction behind each of them, becoming too fluent might ruin his gimmick

He just needs to learn how to say “I must break you”
