two goals in the first period, including the best goal of the season

I have a crazy concept for you. Are you ready?

If you put a player as talented as Ivan Demidov in a position to succeed, he’s going to reward his bosses by being productive and doing good things on the ice.

We saw him during the last SKA match being on the first trio… and today, that’s still the case.

Against CSKA, the Canadian’s hopeful had fun in the first period. He first opened the scoring before scoring his team’s second goal. All this in about half a period.

Here is his second goal – and his 12th this season.

I wanted to save the first goal for last since it’s the icing on the sundae. In my eyes, it is without a doubt the best goal scored by the Canadian’s hopeful this season.

It’s the kind of goal that explains why CH loves him so much and explains why he could quickly be the Canadiens’ most talented player as soon as he sets foot in Montreal. It’s the kind of goal that few players can make.

Obviously, we know that he is always one mistake away from being punished by his coach since he does not want to sign long-term with SKA. But at the moment everything is going well for the Russian.

So much the better for CH, who should count on him for next season.

In burst

– Oui.

– The Lightning is still the model to follow.

– Here’s another one to watch.
