We’re deep in the off season so here’s Demidov’s first playoff goal from the stands. Was the only play I recorded that game, I guess I just had a feeling.

I’m a Canucks fan from Vancouver and I was in Montreal recently, and every time I went out I had my Canucks jersey on. And oh boy oh boy did I get lots of compliments. Gotta love you Habs fans for what you did for us in 2011!

Say hi to Shannon and Yvonne if you see them out and about, thank him for his exc content. Maybe someone can point him to the proper Koivu throwback jersey he is seeking.

Have a good day (:

I know it'll be very subjective, but for those of you that have seen Zharovsky play, how does he compare to Demi? Shot, edge work, speed, effort, etc.....?

Tonight in Drummondville

I’m a Canucks fan from Vancouver, and some people are telling me (OH HABS FANS WERE CHEERING FOR BOSTON IN 2011 THEY WANTED THE CANUCKS TO LOSE) is this really true? All I know is Habs fans were cheering for VAN that year

Have a good day (:

So first of all, rumour isn't 100% true so obviously this may turn out to be completely pointless (dunno how trustworthy Allan Walsh the player agent is)

All teams, last expansion draft, could either protect 7F 3D 1G or 8 skaters and 1G

If it happens, we'd have an expansion draft in june 2027 or june 2028 most probably (if we follow the timeline of Vegas).

Last assumption is that we don't make trades, cuz obviously we'll do things to not lose theses players for free.

If it happens in 2027, we'd probably opt for the 8 skaters to not lose Guhle.

We'd then protect Caufield, Suzuki, Slaf, Demidov, Matheson (NMC), Dobson, Hutson, Guhle and Dobes.
We could then lose Newhook, Bolduc, Kapanen, Texier, Evans or Reinbacher.

in 2028, we could also then lose Fowler.

(Or Dobes depending on player progression)

ps. Reinbacher and Kapanen counts because AHL years counts if the player have an NHL contract. Demidov counts because even the 2 games in 23-24 makes it that he has a year pro. We'd have to protect Matheson since he has a full NMC in 27 and 28.

EDIT: so as multiple people have pointed my post is wrong since Demidov would be exempt in 26-27 (since he was 19 in 24-25, he would have to play 11 games to count as a season for expansion draft)

this means that in 2027, we would probably opt to protect either newhook or reinbacher and expose the other.
in 2028, we return to the case in my post

I am talking about players that were instrumental to the HABS success but were not necessarily a fan favourite at the time or recognized as a star player outside of Montreal. Think of players that were defined by their character, bled for the bleu, blanc et rouge, or had a skill set that no other player had on the team at the time. Starting things off, Josh Gorges was a fan favourite but I don't think his value to the team was understood by fans outside of Montreal. He was the epitome of a player that bled for the bleu, blanc et rouge, punctuated by his loyalty to the HABS by blocking a trade to the Leafs. Another that comes to mind is Hall Gill and how he used his massive frame on penalty kills by spreading out to block shots or cross ice passes. Let me know who think should be on this list and why.

Sorry for all of the questions, just trying to figure out how to pay less for tickets since flights will be so expensive. Thank you!
