Hopefully Montreal will be on a sugar-high from Demidov's first period and has an energy crash the rest of the night

Man if there is a team that really should have drafted Demidov before Montreal it's the other team in this game. Did Davidson think a teenager could carry an entire offense? I wonder what his overall gameplan even is, continue the suck through the McKenna draft?

The truth is Demidov is a teenager and he's carrying the team in his first game ever.

There is playing a good period and then there is being asked to carry a disaster of a team for a couple years, those are very different things

Yeah true but how long did it take Bedard to carry any period for Chicago?

It comes down to talent, Demidov is clearly special, Bedard isn't that guy

 

[aRussian]

Chicago starting to develop some pressure

For all his faults Bedard has led his team in scoring 2 years in a row. He's not matching the label the media and some people put on him but he's not a complete scrub. He and Demidov would have been a dangerous pair

 

[stevo61]

Chicago creates chaos on the PP and then falls victim to it themselves

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Kinda poetic the kid we should have picked will help end our season

If by poetic you mean bullshit. The hockey gods owe us!

The truth is Demidov is a teenager and he's carrying the team in his first game ever.

He's got A LOT more help than Bedard does. Chicago would kill for a Hutson, Suzuki or Caufield

Punch in the gut but that's about our season ending, not about Demidov or the draft.

I was confident that Demidov was going to be an instant star player so I'm adjusted to that, I was just hoping he'd need a couple games to find his timing in a new league. Exactly two games to adjust was my hope. I really like the player. He is a joy to watch and seems like an unpretentious down to earth kid. He's working on language #3 now, not just starting English like some guys.

Bedard is absolutely drowning in the sea of incompetence around him. It seems like the Hawks thought they had forward covered after the Bedard draft, and didn't invest enough around him.

if you watch the game he's playing with Newhook and Armia and pretty much carried both plays where we scored 2 pts

He's not even on the 1st PP wave.

 

[aRussian]

Tied up! Hoping they can keep pushing

 

[Halfboard]

Wow, this Demidov cat is pretty good….

 

[ViD]

And we’re alive !!

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Tie game!!

Losing and expectations already seem to be weighing pretty heavy on him. 80 games at 20 minutes a night is also pretty physically exhausting too, pretty rough go for a kid all around

It's one game at the end of the season against one of the worst teams in the league who have no reason to play except to spoil Montreal's playoff opportunity.

Chicago looks pretty decent, they can definitely win it

you're right but he's the best player on the ice and he's playing with scrubs

Demidov doesn't necessarily have the best linemates with him but he does get to play against the Blackhawks, the one team Bedard doesn't get to juice his stats against.

Though Demidov got Newhook to score right away, that is Hart Trophy caliber stuff.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

No offense to Levshunov but how did Chicago pass on demidov and not team up with Bedard

 

[Viqsi]

So, yeah, Nazar was totally my first choice for that draft pick, just ahead of Mateychuk (no regrets). So I'm rather enjoying seeing him contributing to a result that benefits us indirectly.

well he's the only one juicing anything right now out of the Hawks, the hawks are juicing us at this moment

 

[NotWendell]

Chicago has been outplaying Montreal for most of this game.
