Ivan Demidov 1st career goal

[zenator]

1 goal 2 assists was a very impressive debut for Demidov.

 

[Legend123]

He easily could have gotten at least 4 points if it wasn't for newhook missing nonstop

With Hutson and Demidov, is this Montreal group a team of destiny?

 

[Video Nasty]

Has the moves, the look, the name.

Montreal’s future is bright.

Wonder if they can send #1 Washington packing in the first round like they did 15 years ago

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

Aaah yes. No 19 year old has ever spaced out on a backcheck. Certified bust.

I think it’s more the effort that’s concerning. No problem rushing up the ice for scoring opportunities (even cherry picking a few times), but the second you ask him to backcheck? Nah, controller disconnected.

Hutson is legit and Demidov certainly looks like the real deal. That’s at least 2 great pieces but you still need to build a team around them.

I tried to watch this on the NHL app. It’s hard to believe how bad that app is.

We're in 2025 man. Take that in. All this advanced technology and the NHL can't figure it out

Not saying anything, just posting this, everyone else can take from it what they want.

This takes the cake as the lamest post I've ever seen here, mine included, which are mostly top tier lame. I'm jealous

it's concerning rotenburg benched him nonstop all season but he still is lazy to backcheck, even when the playoffs spot is on the line. on the oher hand, he looked better in creating high-scoring chances than anyone on both teams tonight

 

[MoneyManny]

Can we not.

Not what, be happy about a hyped prospect's firat NHL goal?

Watta hater lol gtfo our thread.

 

[Bombshell11]

That backcheck was pathetic lol

+1 vs Bedard's -200000

lol

Listen im no habs fan but to act like he’s cooked because of one bad back check when stars around the league do that all the time is psychotic. Patrick Kane doesn’t even know what the word back check means and I’d say he has had a pretty good career. You people are crazy.

Sucks for Detroit but he’s f***ing awesome to watch and it’s clear stardom is in his future. Some of you are not hockey fans if you can’t celebrate talent of this level

Pretty sure he was gassed from being on the ice for about 1 min.

Anyone got the stats on that shift?

Ivan one way
Get used to it

 

[Kojo]

Chicago missed him...

I was so upset that Chicago would get Demidov at 2 to pair with Bedard and Habs would get Levshunov or Iginla or Lindstrom at 5. I couldn't believe they passed on Demidov.

 

[frederixx]

Now that they know he's the real deal, they have to get him legit linemates for next year. He was simply the best player on the ice tonight and IMO, the most talented too (strong opinion, I know)

There's a lot of anti-fans on hfboards, posters that rather hate on teams than be cheering their own, not calling out anyone and there's valid critisisism to be had from that backcheck but like you say, lot of fake hockey fans and I feel sad for them.

Yeah. Like im sure some of you have seen me arguing with habs fans in the habs vs Detroit rebuild thread but you have to be blind to not see talent when it’s in front of you. Pretending like Demidov wasn’t electric that game doesn’t change reality. Kids going to be amazing whether you like it or not. Might as well appreciate that we get to live in a golden age of hockey with this many good young players coming up at once

I hope Buch can be that for us. Demidov play actually bodes well for Buchelnikov at least from a stats perspective lol

 

[WarriorofTime]

It sucks that we won’t get to see Ovechkin and Malkin pass the national team torch to Michkov and Demidov due to factors outside those players control. Those two are old enough to be the fathers of the younger two.

 

[Lampedampe]

Caufield, Suzuki, Demidov, Hutson and Reinbacher.

Potentially very nasty top-line and top-pair. Hate to see it.

What's more concerning is that you call him rotenburg and still think you're in a position to read anything from what "rotenburg" has done this season or any others.

do you think i call him that because he is a bad coach? maybe it is a bit more complex than that? i am not allowed to call him rotenburg and read why he does something as a coach at the same time? i am supposed to completely disregard him as a choach then? sorry, but you patronising is simply idiotic.

Hot take: He wasn’t even the best rookie on the ice - Nazar was

Nazar was the best rookie today but Hutson is the best rookie, he's the rookie of the year, he's gonna win the Calder. And Demidov is the most talented player of the three. So Nazar was the third best rookie on the ice. And Leshuvnov 4th.
