  2. The most impressive thing for me so far has been his off-puck game. He’s elite at finding open ice in the offensive zone and he’s a lot more responsible than most people would expect from a scoring winger.

  3. I’m pretty sure that all of his points are primary points as well, also I’ve seen some reports that he was mostly playing center today?

  4. Can they really keep him on the third line when he is already their top scorer?

    Never mind, it’s the KHL… I’ve already answered my own question.

  5. Is it safe to say that his potential ceiling with the Habs is on the first line? Sorry if this is a dumb question.

  6. Finished the game with 16:26 TOI (3rd for forwards, behind the #1 C and Kuznetsov by less than 30 seconds). 2:35 on the PP (around the same as 4 others, so he was on PP1)

  7. So we went from, “this guy might need to spend a year in the MHL again because SKA has too much veteran depth” to “if he’s lucky he’ll split time between the VHL/KHL” to “Hughes will beg SKA to release him to Sochi where he can get decent playing time”, to “don’t worry he’ll get rgular 3rd line minutes with SKA, Roten would’t do him like that” to “he currently leads the KHL in scoring” all in the span of a week or so. Great players FORCE their way to the top.

  8. The NHL is still the big dance. It may take a season or two to find his place, but he will be a stud. I see him being more of a Fedorov/Datsyuk type of player, but who really knows, as I humbly opine from my lazyboy chair.

  9. Our boy is now a PPG player in the KHL. Granted it was by nature of farming points against a really bad team, but that’s how a lot of PPG players score so much here and you have to make sure you don’t drop points to easy teams as a top team.

  10. A massive game for Demidov, hopefully, he gets some more chances higher in the lineup

    since a few people have commented on it, here is some more context on the speed. That’s 21.5mph, which based on NHL edge data is below the 50th Percentile, The average forward top speed is 22.10

    the closest hab from last season is Armia, the highest speed he reached was 21.61, but also who knows how accurate the KHL speed tracking is

  11. Isn’t on the 3rd line and kind of easing him in? But Demidov don’t need no easing in, Gator don’t play that!

  12. at this rate we will know more about Demidov than the whole Canadiens team… i’m ok with that 🙂
