Montreal coach: “Demidov got an excellent first period, although he spent the whole game well”
The head coach of Montreal Canadiens Martin San Louis believes that Russian striker Ivan Demidov perfectly proved himself in a debut match in the NHL.
On Monday, Montreal lost to Chicago (3: 4, in shootouts) in the NHL regular season match. 19 -year -old Demidov in a debut game for the Canadian team abandoned the puck and gave a productive program.
– Demidov was that player who was not too worried and not nervous. He just comes out and plays. Perhaps this is youth and naivety. I was not afraid to put it in the composition, although he has no such experience as other guys.
“What impression did his abandoned puck make you?”
– Execution, a small deceitful movement – it was great, something special. Demidov spent an excellent first period, although he spent the whole game well. It can be seen how Ivan uses his mind, skills and legs, ”San -Louis said at the post -match press conference.
Montreal with 89 points takes eighth place in the standings of the Eastern Conference. In the last match of the “regular” team of San Louis will accept “Karolin” on April 16.
