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

[FerrisRox]

Loaning Michkov to Sochi to get him ice time is a weird method of sabotaging someone.

But totally… its a hilarious justice watching Hab fans lose their shit after a large contingent of them said Michkov didnt make SKA’s roster because something was wrong with him (attitude, play, etc). Ha!

Where are you getting the idea that a "large contingent" of Canadiens fans made that claim?

I saw maybe two or three beating that drum, and they clearly didn't have a clue about the KHL or the situation at all.

Never trust someone who literally has the word rotten in their name.

As a Habs fan, I can confirm that on HF Habs they were more than 2-3, it was a common narrative to justify the fact that we passed on Michkov.

It all looks like some weird corrupted Russian hostage situation to extort Geoff Molson out of some dollars.

The kid needs to be benched for crap like that. Rotten berg needs to nip this in the bud, it can't be tolerated.

Nice patience there

He's nowhere near as good as Michkov, but he ain't half bad, I suppose.

 

[HeadLiceHatty]

I said this awhile back, should just loan him to Sochi.

He can't be loaned in last year of his contract.

He's pretty close to Michkov, closer than Fantilli and Carlsson...

he'll be better then Michkov, more complete game, higher IQ and skill.

 

[HabsAddict]

Habs made a huge mistake drafting this no good rebel player.

He should be benched for the rest of the season for scoring and making his brilliant coach look like a door knob.

Imagine if he carries this insubordination to the NHL. He will do horrible things like put on a penalty kill and instead, goes on the offense and scores.

Terrible draft choice...

Thanks Roman!

Also bigger and more compete to his game. Not sure about higher IQ being more than Michkov

Who knew that a player needs to find his own zone without a flashlight.

Real heroes are 30 goal scorers with a -30.

Thanks Roman!

I live to serve and my name in no way imply that I'm rotten, no good burger...just because i got uncontrollable flatulance...

Miichkov's shot is better, but I think Ivan is smarter, plus I love the way he attacks the offensive zone with speed. But he needs a good bit of work on the physical side of things unlike Michkov who already has that compact frame, Demidov needs a lot of work on lower body strength and 1st step quickness. He needs to be a good bit stronger and more explosive.

Judging from his pictures with shorts on and his current weight of about 200 pounds, he doesn't have the massive thighs that one associates with great skaters. Which of course leaves enormous room to improve that.

He has the great skill and vision, add elite skating and he owns greater then perpetual point per game seasons.

the KHL site has him listed at 187 lbs or 85 kg.

The stat the really sticks out from this season is the 0:38 PP TOI he has averaged this year. From 5 on 3 PP's it's 0:00

Demidov is not smarter than Michkov
