Confirmed with Link: Ivan Demidov released by SKA, signs ELC with the Canadiens (3 years, $940.833k AAV)

I heard Michel Therrien is picking him up from the airport and he’s going to make Ivan cut his toenails for him.

It’s part of the Better Person by Michou program. Step 2 or 3 I believe.

Enough of those Therrien's joke ! Turn the f***ing page.

The bell center would literally blow up if we played toronto at home on saturday at his debut lol

It's in TO....

91 divided by 3? That's like 30 points per game.

I think that qualifies.

Wow you could at least go out on a limb and say 50 per. Your sandbagging at 30 per

 

[Captain97]

They gonna need to get at least 91 points to be 100% sure.. That's 6 points to get . And the three next games are no picnic.

That's assuming the Red wings win every game. The Rangers cap out at 89. If the Habs win tonight that means the Redwings also cap at 89.

The Habs would be at 87. While not impossible it almost guarantees a playoff spot by winning tonight.

 

[1909]

Sorry. I will be way happier if Habs reach Playoffs, than having Demidov around, and Habs missing them.

I'm happy that you're here for the ride, buckle up old timer

Why would the Habs be missing them?

No. Sens, Leafs and Canes won't be easy preys

 

[Rozz]

OK, which of you crazies are headed to Trudeau International to welcome Demidov in person tonight?

... kinda debating if I can Make it there and back for my gig in niagara falls Thursday night lmfao

 

[thebestnic]

You know dude is good when the main board is having a meltdown before he has even played a game

 

[CGHockey]

Carey Price's best forward was Max Pacioretty, second was maybe Plekanec?

Soon the Habs will have Suzuki, Caufield, Slafkovsky, Laine and Demidov up front...

I'm pumped.

poor Carey...

 

[1909]

Why would the Habs be missing them?

They need 91 points to be 100% sure. That's 6 points to get. I am not counting on the teams behind to fold up that easily.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

We need to be conservative. I don't want to set the bar too high.

 

[the valiant effort]

 

[The Great Weal]

They need 91 points to be 100% sure. That's 6 points to get.

So why would adding the best player outside the NHL worsen their chances?

 

[ahmedou]

Nobody:

Sasha Orlov:

 

[Rob Sense]

poor Carey...

Bring him back!

 

[Kennerback]

Sorry. I will be way happier if Habs reach Playoffs, than having Demidov around, and Habs missing them.

So you’re with me. They should really follow through and rename that thread: “Playoffs Delusion Thread”.

 

[Skip Bayless]

My boy @Sasha Orlov

 

[ahmedou]

 

[BLONG7]

It was beyond good luck that he fell to #5 beyond....

 

[1909]

So why would adding the best player outside the NHL worsen their chances?

I already told it: media and fans circus troubling the focus the team badly needs NOW.

Players and coaches will have to answer a thousand questions about the arrival of Demidov. Press (MTL and other cities) gonna be all over the place.

 

[dinodebino]

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

The German guy.

 

[Captain97]

No. Sens, Leafs and Canes won't be easy preys

...

That's not the point. 87 points is almost out of reach for the Rangers and Redwings if the Habs win tonight.

They would have to go 4-1-0 in their last 5.

The red wings play Tampa, Dallas, Florida, Toronto and Jersey. All playoff teams and 4 very good teams.

The Rangers play the Flyers, Islanders, Tampa, Florida, and Hurricanes.

You are assuming Hans win 0 games in their last 3 but the other teams have much harder schedules

 

[Rozz]

Laine-Crosby-Demidov is gonna be crazy next season for our second cup after this year

I know its a dream that will never happen...

...but Demidov fall to us was a dream that wasnt going to happen

... Montreal getting into the playoffs was a dream that was never going to happen (still some games to go)

... Demidov coming to Montreal this year and for the playoffs was a dream that was never going to happen...

..and I know, I know.. Crosby is a dream that is never going to happen... but cant say that i dont get the hope for it.. especially after the impossible seems to keep happening for us lol
