"Sweet Video"
Thanks for sharing. Sent goosebumps down my spine.
Definitely a well executed video.

 

[MoneyManny]

I just saw this on my Youtube recommended. Whichever one of you nerds did this, needs an Oscar or something.



*Chef's kiss*

I love how there's a big, awe inspiring montage for both Slaf and Demidov, but inbetween they barely mention Reinbacher LOL

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

Now all we have to worry about is getting Demidov to come to NA

Nothing to worry about, he will come next year.

 

[morhilane]

Why Philly tho? Do we know a reason at all?

I personally think it's because he believe the team is called the Flayers instead of Flyers, since that's how he wrote it in his social media post after signing his ELC.

 

[MeanMugging91]

Hard not to be excited by this guy. Hopefully he gets some actually playing time in the khl and not just a couple minutes a game if he makes the team. If not they need to send him to the vhl witch probably wouldn't be that bad. As long as he doesn't end up in the mhl I'll be happy

 

[BLONG7]

This kid has one more year in Russia............who actually has his rights over there? Who makes the decision as to where he plays?

Proximity to NY - one of the talking head, think it was Friedman & Marek on 32-Thoughts were mentioning Michkov enjoyed his visit to NYC and realized he could live in one of the boroughs w large Russian community and commute 1.5 hrs to Philly.

Lots of people actually do daily 1hr Amtrak commutes

Ivan Demidov should come over (after his season) which is before the end of our 2024-2025 season?

Interesting, if that is actually the case, he’ll eventually end up with the rangers or islanders somehow (trade request, free agency etc). It will be hard to maintain a good quality of life while commuting 1.5 plus hours daily.

 

[Kennerback]

At the end of the video when asked if he is ready to be THE gamebreaking player MTL need he smiled and answered like he know what's gonna happen

I love the Habs but I also love Montreal the city. People that would fly in to the airport would talk about Lafleur and the Habs. They knew little about hockey but they’d go to the Forum to see a show. For us, players like Ryder, Higgins or Gallagher were interesting, but outsiders came to see game-breaking stars. Going to the Bell Center will be much more entertaining.

We have been too boring for years now. I think Demidov will love Montreal ala Kovalev, and the fans will be very entertained and return the love and excitement.

Our core really needs one more exciting piece....this season hopefully growth and next season we start to change the expectations of everyone.

I really believe that he will be even a better player than Kovalev. I really liked Kovy, but he don't have showed all the time. Demidov looks like a more consistant type of player to me and better at defensive zone.

Demidov will be more in the mold of Radulov with great intensity in his game, consistent and more effort in his game than Alex Kovalev.

I don't said Kovalev is a bad player, but he never been a consistent type of guy to me.

The Habs already fit the 7/8 player profile for a core:

1C - Suzuki
2C - Dach
Power F - Slafkovsky
Star F - Demidov
Specialty F - Caufield
Two-way D - Reinbacher
PMD - Hutson
Shutdown D - Guhle

The job for HuGo is surrounding these players with good depth. Besides people they draft from now on that turn out to be good, this is it. That's the core for the next cup contention window

 

[KevSkillz4]

I will tell you guys:

Ivan Demidov and Juraj Slafkovsky will make Montreal Canadiens a contender team!!

As long as they have the right supporting cast I predict you are right.

He's not going to do that, I can guaranty you of that.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Suzuki, Caufield, Dach, Newhook, Roy, Beck, Hage, F.Xhekaj, Kapanen, Heineman, Koivu, Mesar, Rohrer, Sawyer, Thorpe, Farrell, Guhle, Reinbacher, Hutson, Mailloux, Engstrom, A.Xhekaj, Konyushkov, Harris, Barron, Strubble, Protz, Fowler, Volokhin, Miller, Dobes, Vecvanags

 

[MoneyManny]

People are going to change their tune when Reinbacher becomes our #1 D. He’s a phenomenal player.

I really hope so, i'm rooting for him 100%.

 

[Nico Cauzuki]

I'm very excited by this pick, but also with Michael Hage too.

Are you ever not excited ?

 

[bcv]

Are you ever not excited ?

He wasn't excited about Silayev

 

[Seb]

Are you ever not excited ?

Anton Silayev enters the room

 

[NORiculous]

He's not going to do that, I can guaranty you of that.

Right.

I guess you spoke with Michkov last night to be sure of your self like that.

 

[KevSkillz4]

Are you ever not excited ?

If Anton Silayev have been the pick, I would not be excited. I would broke everything in my house.

 

[BLONG7]

Are you ever not excited ?

Kev is the new..............SBAH!

 

[WeThreeKings]

Kev is the new..............SBAH!

Gotta be his grandson
