Christmas came early.
We need sports escape from reality and this makes this run even more exciting.
Way to get er done Hugo.

Demidov looks like the guy in The Quentin Tarentino movie.

I just wanted to bring a fun fact.

Which mr black, mr pink, mr green, mr white?

 

[sampollock]

Who we got on Sat?

Ottawa on friday and Leafs on Sat.

Leafs sounds good, because everyone will be exhausted. It’s a shot in the arm.

In a weird twist of events, Demidov flew himself here on a Russian MiG and will be in the lineup tonight. Source: My old twisted brain.

MiG 25 Foxbat from what I’ve heard

first rounds of drinks tonight on me

 

[Canadienna]

Never forget it!

Honestly at this point you should start up a twitter insider page and make 20-30 bucks of ad revenue every trade deadline and free agent frenzy by posting eyeball emojis.

what is SN going to do.... nosrtils night and yet the young stud is here

 

[WeThreeKings]

Hopefully is arrival doesn’t break chemistry and his defensive game is good enough to not be a negative asset.

He was very responsible in the playoffs for SKA.

Saturday, when Demidov is likely playing his first game as a Hab, will be pandemonium.

What a time to be a Habs fan.

 

[Rob Sense]

Yes but is Dach actually still alive tho?

They can rebuild him.

My brain is mush. This made me laugh way too much.

 

[Whitesnake]

I wonder how much the possibility that Demidov plays against Ovy in the playoffs wasn't the key point for SKA to accept sending him here so that Russia has the spotlight in North America....

 

[sampollock]

They can rebuild him.

Just happy to be able to share this exciting moment with y’all

It’s cool that some of you actually believed me from the getgo

What if that new toy at 2C is … Demidov?

Never forget it!

I won’t

Blasphemy didn't you know demidov is already the goat. All he has to do is play

He is bergeron/gainey defensively
He is gretzky/lemieux offensively
He is jordan/jabbar when he hoops
He is ruth when is baseballs
He is julia childs when he cooks
He is dirk diggler when he porns
He is pele when is footballls
He is hawkins when is astrologist

I hope they don't have some scrub sticking his knee out when Demidov goes lateral entering the zone...I saw the Laffs do this before!

Ex post facto: I was thinking how unfortunate it’d be stuffing Demidov in the minors, when he could play against Ovechkin and a Russian is also fighting for the scoring race. Absolutely not good timing to do that.

 

[sampollock]

What if that new toy at 2C is … Demidov?

then a new toy in winger for 2nd line

I hope they don't have some scrub sticking his knee out when Demidov goes lateral entering the zone...I saw the Laffs do this before!

SN is going to be sad, not a fig story

The banging in your trunk was an easy tell

Instantly better

Slafkovsky Suzuki Caufield
Demidov Dach Laine

Dream scenario : we get Crosby next year to center that "2nd line".
