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

[The Gr8 Dane]

He very good. I'm happy for the habs to get him but at the same time it's going to be insufferable in the main boards

Everybody else gets to have fun why not us

 

[Boyon90]

19 yo and he makes KHL look like a minor league

 

[Bombshell11]

Everybody else gets to have fun why not us

we easely forget that we have 24 cups and everyone else is jealous bout it

Yeah they must be so jealous that everybody under the age of 30 is just walking around town having only seen garbage teams in their whole lifetimes.

We wont be garbage when Demidov joins the team, he'll make us a contending team right away.

another day, another filthy goal

Canadian teams PPG players (main ones)

Toronto Maple Leafs: Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner
Ottawa Senators: Tim Stutzle, Brady Tkachuk
Vancouver Canucks: Quinn Hughes, Elias Pettersson, JT Miller
Winnipeg Jets: Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele
Calgary: Had Matthew Tkachuk and RIP Johnny Gaudreau

Other teams superstar forwards:

Boston: Pastrnak
Chicago: Bedard
Minnesota: Kaprizov
Pittsburgh: Crosby/Malkin
Washington: Ovy
Tampa: Kucherov/Point
Florida: Barkov/Tkachuk/Reinhart
New Jersey: Jack Hughes/Bratt
Islanders: Barzal
Colorado: Nate Dogg/Rantanen/Makar
Dallas: Robertson
Edmonton: McDrai
Kings: Kopitar
Vegas: Eichel
Carolina: Aho
Buffalo: Thompson
Utah: Keller
San Jose: Celebrini (in the making)
Nashville: Forsberg/Stamkos

That’s 24 teams out of 31 (excluding Habs) that have at least a PPG player/elite to superstar player.

Montreal’s last PPG player was Alex Kovalev in 2009-2010. That’s 14-15 years ago now. So yes, us fans are pretty excited for Demidov’s homecoming in Montreal. He will come with a lot of expectations I’m sure, but will succeed in bringing excitement back to the city.

We deserve a PPG player that’s skilled and can be an impact player in the league. Other than a goalie

But, KHL goalies . . . not good.

Russian goalies are pretty good, just look around the NHL.

How many Cups was that? 24 you said? I guess it needed repeating in case anyone forgot.

Yeah they must be so jealous that everybody under the age of 30 is just walking around town having only seen garbage teams in their whole lifetimes.

Could be worse. Could be a town where everyone under the age of 60 has never seen their team in a Stanley Cup Finals game. Black & White memories bud, black & white memories.

 

[Michoulicious]

Not good enough to play meaningful icetime every game, but good enough to be in the league's allstar game.

Go figure.

 

[danisonfire]

He played on the first line today and got 3 points.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Top 3 Russian prospect of all time, sorry folks

 

[Caser]

 

[FrankMTL]

With his 3 pts today, Demidov is up to 35 points in 44 games.

He's now 8 points away from breaking the KHL U20 scoring record of 42 points by Kaprizov in 2017.

He will break it for sure.

 

[Andrei79]

He will break it for sure.

Question is, can he do it in 47 or 48 games ? It'll depend on where they play him.

The Habs are adding this kid to a forward core of .... Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, Patrik Laine, Juraj Slafkovsky and Kirby Dach. Not to mention Lane Hutson.

Look the f*** out!

 

[Nabrules]

Flyers fan here, Demidov looking fantastic!

Russian Hockey may finally have their replacements long term for the aging Kucherov, Malkin and Ovie with Demidov and Michkov

They sure do! I hope Michkov breaks out of this slump.

Habs futur look bright finally

 

[Bombshell11]

Is he generational now? Asking for some habs fans that are in denial

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Gonna be fun to watch

 

[Doublechin]

Is he generational now? Asking for some habs fans that are in denial

I mean

Let's define generational for this era

Multiple 120 plus seasons?

I'd love too

But besides McDavid these was no prospect I would have labeled generational in the past 10 years, call me picky
