Scored a goal in a preseason game for SKA Varyagi.

1 goal in two games, but great games. He lost 3 shootouts, but the talent is evident. His hockey qi impresses me a lot!

 

[JotAlan]

Varyagi is playing right now and Demidov is not in the lineup. He is hurt?

 

[wings5]

Any reason why he hasn't played this season yet? Injured?

Probably. Hard to find any info.

Probably. Hard to find any info.

Darn, I was just about to suggest someone ask you. I figured if anyone knew, it would be you. Perhaps @MrGeno101 knows something?

 

[Kshahdoo]

Played his first MHL game and scored an assist. As far as I understand he keeps playing at center.

 

[Kshahdoo]

According to MHL site he's 5'11, 169 lbs btw, not that small anymore.

Played his first MHL game and scored an assist. As far as I understand he keeps playing at center.

In fact, he played this game on the left wing. He started on the third row and after Romanov got injured he moved up to the first and made great combinations with Michkov. I hope that in the next matches the coach will put them on the same line.

He started the game on the wing, played center later on including faceoffs. If I saw that right. And yeah, both were magic together.

Edit:
I looked it up, at least in the last period he played center. As an example 8:32 before the end. Demidov loses the Faceoff but SKA wins back the puck and Demidov down the middle and Michkov outplayed the whole Typhoon Team.

He had 10 face-offs and 50% on the dot. It looks pretty central to me.

Yes you are right. In the end he played in the center. He will even start in the center in today's match on the third row along with Michkov. The magic will continue! \O/

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I hope he signs a long term contract soon.

I hope he signs a long term contract soon.

lol

 

[Kshahdoo]

Got another assist btw. So 2 points after 3 games.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Scored his first MHL goal.

 

[Caser]

 

[Kshahdoo]

He's significantly bigger than Michkov.

 

[Tube Skates]

That’s a really smooth move for a 15 year old. No panic to try to make a move and deke into the goalies pad. Impressive

 

[Kshahdoo]

It looks like him and Michkov are good friends, considering how happy Michkov was. Hope these two (and some other kids) will make Team Russia great again one day.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Invited to U17 Team Russia's camp. They will play 5 games vs Czech and Slovaks in October-November.

News about Demidov?

 

[Kshahdoo]

Scored 1+1 at U18 tournament in Finland. I think, he has a good chance to play at WJC U18.

 

[Kshahdoo]

2+1 vs Riga. If it was NHL, he would have had 2+2, but it's not that bad anyway. 3+7 after 12 games. 0+1 in 4 on SKA-1946 and 3+6 in 8 on SKA-Varyagi, where he plays 1C.

That's very good for a 2024 draft class player to put it modestly.
