F Ivan Demidov - SKA St. Petersburg, KHL (2024, 5th, MTL) Part 2

[jfhabs]

Can you post proof of all these things you claim?

Because I think the consensus has been that:

A. Michkov is not 2-3 tiers above Demidov, but most have generally thought he was ahead of him.

B. Michkov is not the best Russian prospect ever. Most generally have thought that he's probably the best since Ovechkin and Malkin.

C. Demidov is allowed to have a better statistical season (even then it's debatable, as you've seen the arguments in this thread devolve from). Sometimes MacKinnon or Draisaitl or Matthews will have a better season than McDavid. Multiple players are allowed to be good at once. Best prospect doesn't have to equal better D+1 season, if it's even granted that Demidov has had the better D+1 (not sure everyone has agreed there, but it's a fair statement to suggest he might've).

The insistence to tear down Michkov is so unneeded. You don't see anyone tearing down Demidov. More than anything, it gives Habs fans a bad rep due to the actions of a few.

Just go back to posts running from July to September and you'll see plenty of proofs.

@montreal has literally never missed a Demidov shift lmao

that’s fine. I’m sure you can see how an impartial fan of neither team is different from a mega fan of one team watching the same prospects lol

Depends on the fan. I know that @montreal is about as impartial as it gets when it comes to Habs prospects. He tells it like it is and doesn't sugar coat a prospects weaknesses or what he thinks of them even if it disappoints some of the fans.

that's why I started my youtube ch, so fans can watch for themselves, the good and the bad. I try to keep the length of the vids down since it's the biggest complaint I get (I have over 1300 vids). Everyone sees things differently so fans can judge for themselves if they bother to watch the games. I have every single Demidov game from this season, I have every MHL playoff game from last season and I have a bunch of MHL games from the regular season last year.

Don't listen to some of the BS in here about being impartial. Your work is great for this community and it doesn't go unnoticed. Thanks

No one insulted @montreal. He has a good reputation, and it’s deserved. But obviously he’s not a super expert on everything. I think it’s a sound point that someone who focuses on Russian players has a better overview of everyone, which isn’t to say @montreal isn’t allowed an opinion and doesn’t have an informed opinion on the matter.

@montreal is the least bias Habs fan (really any fan) out there. He's as real as it gets

Actually, I'm a fan of hockey. I love watching all the new faces of the sport. I am a fan of Demidov also.

Nothing wrong with all of them being good. You don't have to get extra boisterous and denigrate Michkov to praise Demidov.

I don't think Demidov would approve of it either. I think he probably wants his good friend to be successful.

They aren't even picked by the same team and they aren't from the same draft. There's no reason to pump one up to deflate the other, yet you (and some others) persist in constantly trying to compare Demidov to Michkov. It's sad.

Well I am deeply sorry that I have made you sad.

But fear not. Thanks to your virtuous wisdom I now see there error of my ways. Nevermore shall I refer to Matvei Michkov as merely "great" or a "fantastic talent" as I have in the past. From now on only the words "Your Grace" shall be uttered from my peasant mouth when addressing his lordship.

I also intend to seek the permission of the king of habland to speak of his excellence and to express my deepest regret for having slighted his brother the duke of Philadelphia.

And if he doesn't have my head for such reckless slander then
I hereby swear that I will enact my penance of 10 backlashes for every goal of the year candidate king demidov scores from here on out, though I fear I may not make it to the spring so I will heed your warning now:

Hear this fellow Hfboard goers, from this day onward, by order of his honorable hf user : "paVeL bUcHneViCh" no player that is not of same draft and team is to be compared to any others, even if done within the realm from which said player resides.

That means until otherwise authorized no Crosby-Ovechkin, no Gretzky-Lemieux, no Ovechkin-Gretzky. No Matthews-Ovechkin. No Bergeron-Toews

Gretzky-Mcdavid and Malkin-Ovechkin to be allowed by lottery system only.

Brodeur and Roy comparisons will be allowed on the third Sunday of every fifth month

Brothers will be compared to each other only on Wednesdays and/or Saturdays that coincide with the harvest moon or spring equinox.

Any man caught aggressing against his fellow man in this manner, even of the most miniscule of aggressions will be banished to the Cleveland Browns thread in the bluejackets realm.

May the gods be with you brothers.
