"All the paperwork is done, and I’m planning to go with my girlfriend, Katya."

I don't know if our opponents should be worried, or if Katya should be more worried about Demidov in Montreal...

 

[dauv]

I would rather he play in LAVAL and earn the call up.... He needs to learn respekt lol

 

[SergeConstantin]

If I was the Habs marketing team, I'd invite Celine for his first game.

 

[BagusJohn]

100% my face for the last hour. Seriously.

Royyy!!!! Missed ya

 

[BaseballCoach]

Great new!
Boring question…
Will Kapanen give up is 91?
will is contract slide since he won’t play 9 games or will he burn a year regardless just by signing…

Contract will slide if he plays less than 10 games regular season and playoffs.

If he debuts Saturday vs Toronto, the contract will slide unless we win the first round or lose in 7.

Whether it slides or not will NOT affect his RFA years total, which will be seven starting next season (UFA at July 1 2032)

FlightorFrightAware. I never thought Rottenberg was ever going to loosen his grip on Vanya.

Rottenberg claimed in his just concluded BPM interview that he set Demidov free based on his good relationship with him.

Meantime, Demidov still wondering how he ever managed to keep his composure long enough to escape a madman. From Demidov’s perspective, there was no relationship, only a syndrome.

needs to land in MTL asap to put all that behind him then he is free to hear the bell centre roar

 

[Whitesnake]

Yabadaba and f***ing doo.

Now...we are winning so....you don't put him in the lineup. You keep Pezzetta in....

HAHAHAHAHAHAH

[That Habs Fan]

Imagine if Therrien were still coach?

Demidov-Evans-Pezzetta fourth line.

 

[LaP]

Wonder what are his thoughts on Galchenyuk

Individualisssssss

 

[Tyson]

#27 seems like the logical number

I see him playing his first game against Chicago.

 

[Vachon23]

Never thought I was going to see Demidov 1st NHL game

 

[HomaridII]

Never thought I was going to see Demidov 1st NHL game

I have tickets as well. My god.

 

[InsideLaineBOOM]

I believe this video of mine was the main reason Ivan came so early.

Lucky mofo!

Rottenburg to everyone who hated on him all season:

 

[Hope Of Glory]

This is a gamechanger.

The boost the players will get from the crowd should be enough to get a few more wins and clinch.

They couldn't have written a better story.

Now for Reinbacher and Fowler to win the Calder Cup.

When was the last time any of us have this positive about the team ?

Such a far cry from the dumb Bergevin era. It felt hopeless for a solid 5 years at least.

Feels great, man.

 

[Price is Wright]

Kapanen can switch to 27 (he likes the number 7)
Demidov can take 91

 

[Treal]

#27 seems like the logical number

Can we not give him Galchenyuk's number? it is cursed!

 

[HuGo Burner Acc]

Marco D'Amico also said Demidov has been watching the habs all season and is already emotionally invested in the team. Touches on how he thinks Lane is a great player. Lane said something similar when playing videogames with Monty. Game recognizes Game

Will he take that # or will the Habs give him #91 even if Kapanen got it for the moment ? I could see him wearing #22

 

[Tyson]

Kovalev and the Big "M" did ok with it

 

[Saint Patrick]

Can we not give him Galchenyuk's number? it is cursed!

It was Kovy's number before Galchenyuk, hopefully that cancels the curse.
