Alex Zharovsky just got back from Montreal, and he's exhausted.

The Russian is currently playing with a team made up of players from Russia, and some veterans are trying to push the young player to give it his all.

Vadim Shipashyov and Artemi Panarin can hear the crowd chanting Zharovsky's name and are urging him to show what he's got.

Panarin says in the video below that there are agents on site, since there are no international competitions at the moment.

It's time to prove himself, then, and apparently, the Habs prospect was dragging his feet.

It's not just in Montreal that fans are eager to see the young player in the tricolor uniform. People in Russia seem to really like the forward, too.

Zharovsky spent much of the summer in Montreal. He still has a lot to work on—such as his English—and he's certainly eager to play for the Habs. His agent has advised him not to think too much about the NHL for now.

The 19-year-old will spend the season in the KHL with his club, Salavat Yulaev Ufa, which has just lost the services of Evgeny Kuznetsov. At the end of the season, his contract will expire, and he could then make the jump to Montreal.


In Brief

– Nice.

– Forecheck, backcheck, paycheck.

– Too bad.
