Prospect Info: Ivan Demidov (2024 5th OA): SKA St. Petersburg (KHL): Part II

[Matthew McConaughay]

That was fast, already a goal.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

I can't see them

I didn’t know John Cena made the team

That was fast, already a goal.

They’ll take it away. Lol

 

[Gillings]

So who turned into the better player, Galchenyuk or Grigorenko?

Galchenyuk was and always has been the better offensive player.

Good goal.

 

[Mawwerg]

SKA lead did not last long.

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Good goal.

Just figured they’d take it away like his assists. Lol

 

[Mawwerg]

It's surprising SKA is still without a game with ten or more conceded goals.

Ivan creates offence. Unfortunately it does not lead to SKA scoring.

Goalies are their biggest weakness.

Demidov didn't score

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Demidov didn't score

Then why are we talking about goals in this thread lol

 

[overlords]

Then why are we talking about goals in this thread lol

Financial goals?

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Very bad game for SKA so far.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Very bad game for SKA so far.

This could be said for the majority of their games of late. They just lost to the sad Kunlun Red Star, and every time they play a remotely good team they get sorely outclassed. If this were the NHL, SKA would be considered dead in the water.

 

[Mawwerg]

Second period was a disaster.

 

[FrankMTL]

Uhhhhh.....Guys, this thread was halfway down page 2 already....We need to step it up.

SKA playing Dynamo Moscow today at 11:30am. I'm expecting another tough game as SKA has been playing like dogshit for a while now.

He's on the 4th line probably. Not exactly surprising. He's slumping a bit lately.

I'm assuming (in part) it has to do with the number of games played, he's hit a bit pf a physical wall. He's never played this amount of games in his career from what I see. Michkov was going through that as well in the NHL but the two weeks off seems to have helped him.

Yeah, this is a high number of games at the most physical and demanding level. I'm happy he's going through this now rather than the NHL.

He's also getting marked way way tighter so he has to learn how to push through being double teamed etc.

 

[Scriptor]

In Montreal, with a two-game scoreless slump like he is currently having, fans would be clamouring that he needs to be sent to Laval to develop properly, that Hughes is ruining this jewel by keeping him up in Montreal.

 

[SlafySZN]

Gonna be on the 4th line today. But it isn’t really a bad thing, he’ll probably play with Korotky, another good young player.

 

[HomaridII]

 

[Scriptor]

I'd like to see Demidov shake the slump and carry the team.

That would be a testament to his progression through adversity.

 

[Favster]

I'm no expert, but it seems like that team is kind of imploding on itself. They should be wayyy better than they have been this season.

 

[EveryDay]

DeAngelo left and now Kuznetsov as well before the playoffs? Something's telling me that it's related to Rottenberg....
