He doesn’t stop.
Ivan Demidov found a way to score another goal today. The CH’s hope, who is playing on the first line of his team today, used his hands to outsmart the opposing goalkeeper.

It’s no small feat.
What’s interesting is the pace at which he has been scoring over the past few weeks – or since the visit of the Canadiens’ management. He scored in his last game (January 13) before today’s game, and he has three goals in his last five games.
He especially has nine goals in his last ten games. That’s quite something!
It’s no surprise that everyone is talking about him positively.

He might not surpass Matvei Michkov’s pace of 19 goals in 47 games from last year in the KHL, but his current pace means he has little to regret.
In Brief
– Greater expectations for CF Montréal?
One should expect more from the team in 2025, predicts its goalkeeper.

– Neymar in Chicago: it wouldn’t be easy to pull off.
All details on Chicago Fire preliminary talks to sign global superstar Neymar, per sources w/ @JacobsBen:
– Preliminary talks. Obviously difficult
– Chicago ONLY MLS team in official talks (they have his MLS rights)
– Deal could be similar to Messihttps://t.co/mlUvBBEgVx— Tom Bogert (@tombogert) January 16, 2025
– A highly anticipated figure.
