Eklund: Ivan Demidov Playing For Canadiens Tonight. Should he be?

I think you simply have to trust a bunch of grown men making millions to not get caught up in the moment.

For the 12 to 15 minutes that your 3RD line is on the ice.

They are sitting a guy that played 5 minutes the other night, if that throws the whole team off they have larger problems

Habs cannot afford to take the kids from Chicago lightly. They are young and FAR from polished or complete yet, but the rapid development is apparent at times. The Hawks have had some eye-opening stretches within games the past six weeks. The speed and tenacity envisioned by management is suddenly quite visible as the roster has turned over to the youngsters. Consistency is their downfall. If Montreal takes them lightly, they may regret it.

I'm sure Montreal will be taking the game very lightly. It's not like they have only two games remaining and are still yet to clinch a playoff spot or anything like that.

It's here. Happy Demidov Day to you and yours! whereever you and your family are celebrating all across the globe. The pregaming started early today. Big night for the NHL as the Eagle touches down in North America. Enjoy the festivities, if you're dranking don't drive. 💪🍻🍻🍻

Montreal needs 2 points to clinch. Not 1. If Montreal gets 1 point they stand at 89 points with 29 Regulation wins. Columbus with 89 points assuming they win their last 2 games in regulation would have 30 regulation wins hence Columbus is in Montreal is out. Montreal needs either 90 points (2 points in any manner during last 2 games) or they need Columbus to lose 1 game. If Montreal loses both last games only a Columbus loss will (in any manner) will qualify Montreal

He's got to play, fans want to see him play, absolutely no reason not to play. Kid looks like the crown jewel, Habs got a good one.

Impressive.
I’ll have to watch a game, give it the eye test.

He'd better live up to expectations because if he doesn't, Habs fans and media will run him out of town for not speaking French.

Thank you . Fixed

It would seem as though Demidov is ready

And yet they did. No respect for the Hawks speed. Got burned all game. The thing about teams that MUST win to make the playoffs is they often just aren’t good enough to make it. Otherwise they souldn’t be in a must win situation to start.
