GDT: Game 6 - SKA vs HC Sochi - Sept 19 12:30EST

[Redux91]

Hyped we got him and hyped about him but it's been 6 games. Let's wait for a larger sample size.

Yeah, just like us the year before.

Michkov is a ticking time bomb.. dude will want $14M at the Rfa negotiation. And will get it (in Philly).. no thank you.

 

[Skip Bayless]

Just read that my boy went off today.

Michkov could never.

He has 6 games, pump the brake and wait before talking about a PPG season...

 

[EveryDay]

Here's another steal....insane player Nikishin.

Yeah he's got the total package, the Canes know how to find their defenceman. He's got 1st paring potential.

In honor of this 4pt game I'm headed to the strip bar, going to make it rain for Demidov

Those dudes will love taking your money.

Michkov was 4+5 after 8 games last season for Sochi...

how much minutes on the ice was he playing per game ?
That said, i don't put too much emphasis to these Demi's 6 points in 6 games, when 4 were put during one single game; I call that a " having one good game "

Poehling put 4 goals during his first NHL game . Eat that Mitchkov !

I know, I know, JVR scored 4 goals in his first rookie game, and Michkov just one so JVR was 4 times better player back then...

Kovalev had lethal skill. Just didn't always want to use it. Arguably most skilled Hab ever.

 

[BLONG7]

The kid had a 4 pt game.........be happy guys!! He is 18 playing against men, some of whom used to play in the best league on the planet, and now they play in the 2nd best league.......no need to go overboard, but he sure looks like he is the real deal.

Let's hope he get some more TOI and has a great season!!

I still don't get this obsession to bring Michkov in all discussion regarding Demidov. Yes they are both Russian but they are very different players and they will each have a great career on their own.

The Thunder from Down Under! You know what I'm talking about!

Some people are never gonna let passing on Michkov go. Reinbacher could win 5 Norris and they'd still play violin on their wrists talking about how we could have had Michkov and Demidov

There is alot to like about Demidov's game honestly but so far what I've find the most impressive is the defensive part of the game.

Demidov is pretty much the 1st forward on his line to back check almost every single shift in order to help defensively. He doesn't seem to cheat at all and that's awesome for an 18 yo player.

Can't wait to see him in MTL next year!!!

You better run, you better take cover

 

[ahmedou]

Maybe we keep going until preseason starts.

We keep going!

And it's only @SwiftyHab who opens Demidov's GDTs. Only @SwiftyHab. And nobody else.

 

[CHwest]

or too late!

Key to a good panic is always being prepared. A lot of folks get caught with their pants down and are late to the show... be ready folks.

He has tremendous hustle without the puck. At times he turns it on at level where it's like, he wants the puck so badly so he can score. He is hockey manifest.

Got that Crosby/Celebrini in him. I wasn't expecting that.
