Come on.  You need to slot Demidov into that 2 spot. If the habs don't than that's on them. But I dont' want to see Pezetta ever again in a habs uniform.

I put in last night's lines. 

I will add Demidov when I see what they do in the morning skate.

Am thinking the place will go bonkers if 93-48 link up on a goal.

 

Cant imagine he will get a crack on 2nd PP unit yet (but has been struggling), will he?

No offense but I’d be slapping him on PP1 the way Slaf has been playing. 
 

Can’t be any worse.

Pezz is a giant inflatable outside the Bell Centre saying THIS TEAM LACKS NHL DEPTH. Sure, he has heart but he sucks. The sooner he’s gone the better.

i think he absolutely is on PP2.   Put the kid in position to succeed.   Its the area he will get the most time and space.

I want Demidov beside Newhook but I think he probably starts beside Evans. 
 

If Demidov looks good with Evans then I think he will get shifts with Newhook and perhaps Suzuki too. 
 

He is absolutely going to score

He was skating with Armia and Newhook in morning skate.

 

MSL in presser after skate only confirmed he would be on PP2

I don’t get why they wouldn’t put him with Laine. Well I do - Laine sucks defensively, but get the kid a finisher. First 2 months it was so frustrating seeing Hutson set up Armia, Anderson, Dvorak, Newhook with prime chances only to have them blow away prime opportunities. 
 

we need scoring , play the kid with a guy who can finish!

If Montreal wins tonight (or Columbus loses tomorrow), I think there's a good chance Pezzetta will play on Wednesday to give someone the night off.

1 goal, 2 assists, and the 1st star of the game. We all collectively lose our minds

I can, and it is amazing. 

 

I half jokingly called the Habs losing the last two games and Columbus winning theirs, to set the stage for Demidov tonight. I invited my Hawk fan buddy over to watch the greatness unfold, or the rapid decline of my mental health, either way he is getting a show.

I wonder what effect that would have on him?

 

I bet Demidov would eat it up
