Have Canadiens finally found their superstar in Ivan Demidov?



Bryan Hayes joins SC with Jay Onrait for another edition of Harvey’s Hot Takes, where he shares his thoughts on some of the biggest stories in sports, including Rory McIlroy completing the career Grand Slam, and Ivan Demidov’s electric debut in Montreal.

  1. I clicked on this waste of time for hockey, not paint drying. I don’t have an issue with TSN covering golf, however, if I want to watch dry ice sublimating I’ll click on that and not hockey titled click bait.

  2. TSN they already have a superstar. His name is Nick Suzuki. I know he doesnt play for Toronto so you guys barely mention his name but hes a top 5 centre in the league this year

  3. No superstars……chelios, patrick roy, suzuki…etc…a little dramatic hayes……yeah no matthews….well because they didn't tank like the laffs….

  4. It’s too early to say whether Ivan Demidov will be that superstar for the Habs. That said, in his first NHL game of any type, preseason or otherwise, he did make a very good first impression via having scored a goal and assisted on another.

  5. I like the Jets but they tend to choke in the playoffs. They're a bit like Washington in the 2010s. Really good team finding ways to lose in the post-season.

  6. huge error by marty pretending laine is anything but a one trick pony while his next star watches from the bench kid had a great debut he deserved a chance in the shootout over laine

  7. I came here to watch a video about Demi and you’re talking about golf. If you’re going to talk about golf in the video, make sure you put that in the title so that I can avoid it because golf is tedious

  8. Can’t wait to watch this Demidov kid more as he gets to know how the NHL is, at the moment he looks like the Russian Mcdavid!

  9. Mtl got something special in demidov, and there building something special in Montreal.. few years watch out, maybe sooner just need to keep adding pieces to the puzzle.

  10. Answer is yes. The kid has the goods and it shows. Only going to get much much better. Quick on his feet and speed to boot with good instincts!

  11. Toronto winning the Atlantic is way more impressive than winning one of the weaker divisions like the Metro where there are only two good teams in the division. The cup winner will be coming out of the Atlantic this year and second round will decide it. Leafs or one of the Florida teams. And people are underplaying how good the Leafs are this year. Second best record in the NHL since February 1. Second best goalie in the NHL. Wake up Hayes. I think Jets and Capitals are both overachieving overrated teams this year. Put them in the Atlantic they are wild card teams. Racking up wins from piles of games (3-4 games each) against the Utahs, Ducks, Blackhawks, Sharks, bottom feeder Canadian teams like Calgary and Vancouver, etc is not a balanced NHL that will give you an accurate measurement based on points. Most of the Metro teams are better than them.

  12. As a Habs fan watching the game last night I have to say. Chicago drafting Levschunov does not look like a mistake. That guy is a stud/ Even passing on Demidov they will love that guy

  13. After the game they asked Demidov how he thought he played. He said he played good for the first two periods, and maybe if they won he would say it was a good game, but no way would he call a loss a good game. It was like he was disgusted by the loss, like it left an awful and foul taste in his mouth. That is another reason I love him as a hockey player. He seems to under stand the game on a deep level, plus has skill

  14. Get strubel outta the lineup!!!!and put carrier and gulie back together!!!! Hutson Mathison… xhekaj Savard

  15. Ridiculous how medias totally exagerate the young player career. Lets see him play 30 games and evaluate…..

  16. I love St. Louis but he coached a very bad game last night. 1-) His trios were bad: Newhook can stake but nothing else. Where Demidov is a fast intelligent player that can feed a natural scorer which Newhook is FAR from being and could not feed Demidov in return.2) Laine is a terrible player, he got way to much ice time for a game that matters so much, 3-)and Demidov could have played the power plays in the third periods instead. 4-) He did not make any changes during the game.5-) Slaw is on vacation? He has been terrible for the last two games. He could have tried Damidov and branch Slaw for one or two rounds. Damidov is an excellent player very impressive.6-)Laine in second for the shootout? Suzuki, second then Demidov.7-) the shootout goal was technically not good, since was declared no goal

  17. He needs to learn how to BACK CHECK! I can't be the only one who watched him coast back on the Chicago 3rd goal. It was actually pathetic!

  18. Golf is so lame. god i hate golf. any "sport" where you can be legally obese and also be a professional, is not a sport.

  19. I thought he was getting overblown attention. But after 40 minutes watching him I was ready to put him at the same level as McKinnonMcDavid.

  20. More than three minutes WASTED on golf? No one cares about a bunch of non-athletes going for a walk and occasionally hitting a ball. Golf will NEVER be a sport until the spectators are allowed to heckle and jeer while the non-athlete is preparing to hit the ball. You're telling me these losers want to be paid money to do a thing and they need silence to do it? Bull fucking shit.
