I don’t know when was the last time the Canadian got his hands on a player as talented as Ivan Demidov.

Canadiens fans can’t wait to see him in Montreal. It will be at the start of the next season.

Yesterday, the Russian scored a superb goal that made headlines. For those who missed it, here it is:

He finished his game with two goals and an assist, while playing on the first line.

The absence of Evgeny Kuznetsov is a shame for the team, but for the playing time and the opportunities of the CH hope, it is perfect. The former Capitals’ injury could also open another door for Demidov.

Indeed, the KHL All-Star Game could now be a possibility for someone who has 29 points in 39 games this season.

Last December, Kuznetsov was hit in the head and could miss as much as two months of action.

Demidov therefore has a good chance of participating in his first (and hopefully not last) professional All-Star Game.

For those who haven’t had the chance to see SKA’s 91 in action much this season, The Sick Podcast – Recrutes draftcast released the forward’s on-ice appearances in his most recent three-point game.

What I notice is that he always has the puck, creates a lot of opportunities and plays well over 200 feet. He’s not in his territory often, which is obviously great. I also notice that he plays a bit like a center in the sense that he makes plays for his teammates and is good without the puck.

It’s worth taking six minutes out of your Saturday to watch this.

In burst

– Yes.

– 2 hours if he goes by car.

– Notice to interested parties.

– Poor Jake.

– Easton Cowan doesn’t think it’s cool.
