That was mainly you thinking we'd pass on Demidov for Buium.
How we liking the Demidov / Reinbacher combo now?? I like it a lot better than michov / Buium (12 OA) … that’s for damn sure!
Ah I panicked too. I didn’t say anything though lol.I meant after the Michkov non-selection, not the panic pre-draft. I will take my big fat L for panicking pre-draft with the Buium rumors.
Never thought I'd say this but Celine Dion freaking killed it on that stage. Can't stop watching the way she announced the pick. It was so epic. The exact opposite of last year's draft lolAh I panicked too. I didn’t say anything though lol.
When Celine started drawing it out I felt better about it. Hughes is pretty in touch with the fan base. He wouldn’t have brought her out just to pick someone we all didn’t want. Insane showmanship that was
What I said.
But they have to start playing a smarter game from next year, they are getting extremely easy to read with these "ignore those we have interest in" tactic. The whole league knew they wanted Demidov they weren't hiding anything. So that's a big F for Hughes right there. This time it's without consequences, all the teams ahead got who they wanted, but it's not going to be like that every single year. We need better smokescreens.
Demidov stickhandling seems to be elite. Shifty with the puck. Dman don’t know what he is going to do. I think he can be our next 90-100 pts wingerCongratulations everyone, we got our future star. I love skilled Russian players and always have, he should fit in nicely with our group. Celine Dion gave you all stiff member syndrome when she announced the pick lol.
When Celine said the words "Ivan Demidov". She instantly became the hottest woman on the planet IMO lolCongratulations everyone, we got our future star. I love skilled Russian players and always have, he should fit in nicely with our group. Celine Dion gave you all stiff member syndrome when she announced the pick lol.
How did you got this photo? I'm trying to find the exact moment this happened, I could of sworn I saw Celine say to Hughes "touche moe po".

Do you have the full video of this?
I wonder if there was a notice that went out to teams not to congratulate the Panthers, thank the host city and bring every man, child and dog on stage so the draft won't go overtime.Did any of you find it odd nobody said congrats to the Panthers for winning the cup? Usually a few teams do, not one this year. Is it that big of a douchebag franchise?
Also after 20 years should I go Demidov in my avatar?
Who will represent the legend that is Pat Traverse ?Did any of you find it odd nobody said congrats to the Panthers for winning the cup? Usually a few teams do, not one this year. Is it that big of a douchebag franchise?

NGL Hughes looking like a genius now in retrospect, mind you a lot had to fall right for the habs to pull this off, including a season ending injury to Dach, but in the end all that matters is how it all panned out.
HUGO have to be feeling great, not much the naysayers can say now, including me. who preferred Michkov over Reinbacher.
Great day for this organization. I feel like I've fallen into some alternate universe where the habs actually get to have nice things. It's kinda surreal, it's been a long time coming.
Can't wait to see him on our squad, he's going to be so much fun to watch.
Sometimes I wish I would have made my Habs board name Pat Travers, or maybe Frank Marino!!!!Who will represent the legend that is Pat Traverse ?

They just needed one. The gods were on our side.This pick changes everything for the rebuild.
Without Demidov, they would have been screwed to find an offensive star.
Singlehandedly makes me want to watch more games after a decade+ of declining interest since Kovalev left.
This was y'all last night
look look look :
