What’s hilarious was some Blackhawk fans were outraged we drafted him… like, bros, you guys picked 3 spots before us! Not our fault. I mean, if anyone should be pissed, it’d be Utah or whoever coveted him after us. Or, just be pissed at your own GM.

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?

After the presentation on the stage, there was a section off to the side for the whole staff to take a picture with the player. Since they couldn't pack them all on stage like every other year.

 

[Skip Bayless]

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?

I noticed that as well. Thinking it was league's directive to get straight to the point, but we took our sweet ass time to announce our pick.

Official Demidov's Draft pic! Just came out! What a beauty

It's like were in the real life re-gen from NHL game season mode.

Right after a great player retires, there's a clone player with a weird name that appears in the draft.

The nerd level on display here eclipses the HF boards poster... wow.

I'm not sure. This is exactly how I imagine most of you. The younger ones at least.

Demidov is our Stutzle. So nice. Stutzle was the only thing we had that Ottawa could hold up against us.

I can't decide if I'm happy or annoyed by the pick.

Don't take this wrong, he was my favorite option, but people will start to claim outlandish things about his ceiling for a whole year before he gets here. Not that the Habs brass are helping there. No pressure kid, but Lapointe/Bobrov are pretty much expecting you to be the best player of the draft...

Post-mortem: The Habs decades old program of drafting forwards without the tools to become an offensive superstar and hoping he becomes one anyways has been an abject failure. I like that we tried something else.

Demidov barely playing in the khl this year was a plan all along by Bobrov, now watch him go khl next season and then NA the year after

Hopefully Demidov is good enough this year to crack the KHL lineup

With the talent he have its imcomprehensible he only played 4 games in the khl this year

 

[montreal]

I have to check but I think I have 8 or 9 more Demidov vids from the playoffs that I have to work on but I should have a few more done this week.

Of all the highly-touted prospects drafted early in the first round - Galchenyuk, KK, Reinbacher - Demidov is the one about whom I am most excited, and who inspires the most confidence in his ability to become an impact player.

But expectations and demands, as with those other three players, are far too high, I think, and, no matter what he becomes, I think that there will be disappointment. It's the nature of fandom.

How can he have concerns about his skating and give him a 60 grade, then say he has incredible skill and also give that a 60 grade?
