GDT: Game 9 - SKA vs Severstal September 27 12:30 EST

[WeThreeKings]

Stupid penalties mean we'll get one more Demidov shift.

 

[sukimono]

Why does the arena announcer sounds exactly like Michel Lacroix but in russian

 

[MarkJ]

Russian Chuck Norris in the stands.

 

[sukimono]

Ngl these ultras are awesome

Demidov scores a goal, looks like an absolute superstar when he’s out there, yet Rottenberg still manages to ruin my weekend.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Do you guys think he would have killed rookie camp+ pre season

He would have murdered regular Habs camp.

They play against Kunlun sunday. Demidov better get some ice time & PP.

Either Demidov sucks in the eyes of SKA or he doesn’t suck. If he sucks you give him a shot during blowouts or against weaker teams. But it just doesn’t work that way.

 

[Treb]

Do you guys think he would have killed rookie camp+ pre season

Would have easily been best forward at rookie camp and probably better than Hutson.

Would have been good in main camp.

Demidov TOI is not about Demidov's play, it's about age and politics.

How many minutes today?

Why I think he would kill in the NHL camp right now. He can do everything Hutson can do skill-wise and he can do things Hutson doesn’t do. I followed Michkov’s games last season in Sochi, and Demidov is clearly superior in his KHL play. Michkov’s little moves that worked last year in Sochi are seamlessly working in Flyers camp.

 

[Zine]

To be fair , me personally i don't roast kutz , he was a beast during their cup run , he did what he had to do , can't blame the guy for chilling in the K , the vitriol seems like a bit much for a guy that was a key component on a cup team , he payed his dues

Kuznetsov deserves all the vitriol he's getting considering Gritsyuk took a voluntary pay-cut to fit him under the cap.
Nobody cares that he paid his dues in the NHL. He's getting paid to perform, not skate around like an oaf.

I guess it depends what "killing it" means to you.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Do you guys think he would have killed rookie camp+ pre season

Absolutely. He's killing a top tier men's league while getting very little ice time and dragging around the unenthused corpse of Kuznetsov with sub 1 minute of PP time a game.

Looking like the best player on the ice throughout camp.

It's more like Rotenberg values his principals over common sense.
"Young players must be brought along slowly!" "Trust the system!" ...blah blah blah

 

[Treb]

Then I don't think he would this year or even next year, especially with our trio being there.

 

[Redux91]

Do you guys think he would have killed rookie camp+ pre season

The answer to this is pretty obvious bud..

Did you see what he did for KHL pre-season with a team full of TWERPS

 

[Kennerback]

Then I don't think he would this year or even next year, especially with our trio being there.

I think Hutson looked superior to Caufield and Suzuki who seem to not be back from their summer vacation. IMO, Hutson has been the best at camp this season. My opinion is that Demidov would have looked superior to Hutson.

And Slafkovsky?

 

[Kennerback]

And Slafkovsky?

That line as a whole has not been great. Slafkofsky was on the receiving end of bad passes. He looked good but didn’t shine as much as he should have. I preferred Hutson’s performance,

So he learned to coach hockey at the same school as Claude Julien...
