Prospect Info: Ivan Demidov (2024 5th OA): SKA St. Petersburg (KHL): Part III - IN SASHA ORLOV WE TRUST

[JIMVINNY]

Wish I could understand why that one was disallowed. Anyone?

 

[DemidovSZN]

WTF happened? goal and finally no goal?

Offside apparently

 

[Skip Bayless]

Goal disallowed because it's what's best for business.

 

[Adam Michaels]

So Demidov now has 3 goals and 2 assists + 2 goals disallowed (today & last game in OT).

 

[BergevinBurner]

5 points in 5 games so far and that's without 2 goals he scored that were disallowed. I don't think we have to worry about this guy disappearing in big games like the Leafs stars lol.

Unfortunately, if SKA is eliminated today, we should expect them to send Demidov to the VHL or MHL as their affiliates are still in the playoffs there.

SKA NEVA St. Petersburg in the VHL (they won their 1st round series and await who they'll play in Round 2). And SKA-1946 in the MHL., who got a bye in the 1st round and are up 1-0 in their 2nd round series.

i don't see what the gain would be to send the top scorer of the KHL to the MHL? Assuming it is driven entirely by ticket sales, how much more in sales are we talking about here?

I'd be surprised if they took this route, as it would be a total FU to the Habs, and for what? These are histroic clubs, they are not in the business to embarrass themselves with pettiness - I'd venture a guess this is why Hugo was there earlier in the year.

DemiGod has 1 goal already and an assist

offside

Montreal Canadiens fans must be getting really excited as the reality of having Demi-God in La Belle Provence soon

Same here. I think it will end up being VHL, where he can play with his brother Semyon.

Only reason they would send him to the MHL is if they want to "punish" him for not extending, and I wouldn't put it passed them to being petty like that.

On va vendre dla poutine en tabarnac!

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

A big reason why I think it'll be Slaf he replaces on the powerplay is because of his constant off-puck movement. Our powerplay can be so painfully static that it will be good to have someone roving the zone and getting others moving as well.

[overlords]

dynamo ties it

 

[SannywithoutCompy]

Maybe if Rotenberg started thinking of "leads" as "stupid roster decisions" he'd start being able to defend them

 

[RayMartyniukTotems]

SKA and Dynamo are tied at 3-3

 

[salbutera]

 

[BergevinBurner]

Either give me a Demidov game winning goal, or a Moscow win.

I know there's a 99% chance they don't let Demidov leave early, but it'd be nice to get that question answered sooner rather than later.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

The main board is going to be so salty next season, like a whole new level of saltiness.

They're gonne rival this:

 

[overlords]

lol @ the ska defense trying to milk that non-icing call

Adding two recent top 5 picks (Demidov and Reinbacher) to what is already a playoff team should make us a top team in the league pretty quickly

do you guys know how long the intermission before OT is in the KHL? is it 15min?
