Godspeed big stud, bring Iceman home

He hasn't scored in 16 games. Perhaps St. Petersburg senses he needs a rest before the playoffs.

The only thing you should be hopping for is for SKA to get kicked out of the playoffs in the 1st round. The rest doesn't matter.

Rottenburg talking about physicality in the KHL and that Demidov is too light and weak for the super physical upcoming matchup.

Meanwhile Demidov goes home and watches the habs game under his sheets at 2:00 AM just to see a 5"4 145 pound Lane Hutson dominate the best , most physical hockey league in the world night in night out

He's got more bite than anyone else on his team, too. Rotenberg just sings whatever tune that comes into his mind.

Not liking recent developments concerning our boy over in Russia. Not sure if he’s just sick of Rotenberg and has decided to mail it in, or if he’s hit a wall because of the grind of the season. Either way, it isn’t good.

Before when Rotenberg drastically cut his TOI, he was still playing good - hustling, working hard, generating chances left and right in the time he got. That no longer seems to be the case.

It’s a shame too because it was really looking like he was going to end up with 60+ points and head into the playoffs on a tear. Now, you wonder if he’ll even get a single additional point in the remainder of the season, and the way things are going, Rotenberg has the excuse to just bench him or scratch him for the playoffs - it wouldn’t surprise me in the least.

Called it. I’ll be surprised if he suits up for more than a game or two in which he gets ~10:00 or less TOI in the playoffs. If he even gets that. The way Rotenberg is talking, he might be benched for the rest of the season.

Edit: Rotenberg has now confirmed he’s scratched for the playoffs lol. Where’s the guy who was arguing with me last week saying there was nothing to be concerned about?

 

[Habssince89]

Can't wait til Demi is out of that hellhole

 

[SwiftyHab]

 

[LaP]

That's a good thing he wont get injured and he'll hate the team's management even more.

 

[Frank Drebin]

you can't make this up

 

[covfefe]

I hope Bobrov's dad is making sure this guy has a steady supply of Pellegrino and is staying clear of any >3rd floor balconies for the foreseeable future.

Need to get him to Montreal for sundress & patio weather, stat

 

[Hacketts]

This could be mental games and having him fired up for playoffs... or.. Russia being Russia.

 

[ExReHabs]

I can buy that Demidov has hit a wall and is struggling physically but I can’t understand how the coach can scratch his leading scorer.

 

[GrandmaCookie]

When is the last time a professional team benched a player leading the team in points other than for non-performance related stuff? It must be a first, right?

Like the other said, can’t make this shit up.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I presume management is behind this. Why would they allow him to do if they weren't instigating it?

 

[jaffy27]

How are you? Thx for the offer but I thought you might have gotten an authentic CKA Demidov home jersey for yourself given how close you tend to travel there. If you run across official Demidov merch in or near Russia, please drop me a private message.

I don’t own any jerseys or sticks but would make an exception for Demidov. I’ll send you an e-transfer to cover your purchase. I’d like a Demidov game used stick and an official CKA Demidov home jersey. If you can’t get these for me, then get what you can for yourself and share pics with us.

Always good to hear from you.

I’ll get on it and DM you when I get some answers

 

[Xss]

I'm curious what the SKA fans think of this. Can you imagine what would happen in Montreal if St-Louis would start to bench Suzuki lol.

 

[WeThreeKings]

It's their last bullet to try and get him to sign.

Whatever, they'll be swept.

 

[HuGo Sham]

what an absolute f***er

 

[sampollock]

just get him over here stat

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Hey, Ska we'll give you like 100k and you release Demidov today.

 

[Justin11]

Demidov's contract ends on May 31. What are the chances that they negotiate earlier termination?

 

[overlords]

I don't even mind at this point. Demi should just turn off his phone and lock himself in the gym until his contract runs out.

0% they're being dicks

Genius move. Really convincing him to stay by benching him.

Zero, Rotten is a spiteful spoiled kid.
