"Something is fishy, if Demidov is as good as we think and has no attitude problems, why is he getting benched ? He's way better than many players on the roster. It's suspicious, SKA must have a reason. Are you telling me that they would rather lose games, than play one of their best players ? It makes no sense."
No idea what you are talking about. They are trying to get Demidov to extend. Why they let Michkov go when they had him signed to a 3 year contract is the mystery.

Thank God Demidov is that good he will be a superstar regardless of the BS he has to put up with this year
I was thinking of that... it sure sucks that Demidov isn't playing as much as we hoped. But in the grand scheme of things... if the expectation for this year was for him to transition into pro hockey, then they were absolutely met. He moved from russian junior one year to burning one of the top senior team in the world with inconsistent ice time and almost no PP time. That's an amazing result just by itself. We now know his game transition (well!) and he will be ready for the NHL and won't need to spend time in the AHL. Just having this settled is a great thing.

They let Michkov go, stop falling for propaganda. Until it happens or doesn’t happen there’s no point getting riled up.
You're not wrong, but we were saying the same damn thing about SKA f***ing around with his icetime and pressuring him to sign a contract in russia.

His assist is even more impressive
His assist is filthy. At first I wasn't sure he hasn't just drop the puck.

Is it not just the opposing player swiping the puck against Demidov’s skate? Deflects to teammate?
That is exactly what happens
