Ivan Demidov wowed everyone in his first KHL game, and we have the footage
Ivan Demidov made quite an impression in his professional hockey debut in the KHL on Thursday, and the highlights are impressive.
The young prodigy showcased his skills with some impressive plays and registered his first point in the process. Demidov finished the game with an assist, 14:02 of ice time, a +1 rating, and 3 shots on goal.
Here's a highlight of a spectacular play he made. Remember, this is his first professional game.
To pull off such a play requires a lot of talent, especially for an 18-year-old in an adult league. He shows no fear playing against seasoned professionals.
Ivan Demidov is poised to be a very special player for the Canadiens for a long time. Some analysts even suggest that if he had had the same level of exposure as Macklin Celebrini, he might have been considered for the first overall pick.
I have a strong feeling that three or four teams will regret passing on him, as he slipped to the 5th overall pick, and the Canadiens got him on a silver platter.
