Has anyone checked to see if Ivan Demidov moved into the practice facility in Brossard? It would save him a lot of travel time, seeing as he spends all his time there. It’s also great to see David Reinbacher in action, one of the top ranked Montreal Canadiens prospects. [Canadiens Prospect Rankings – Mobile David Reinbacher]

Pat Maroon is a big fan of Canadiens sniper Cole Caufield.
The NHL Network’s Pat Maroon on Cole Caufield:
“Sometimes size doesn’t matter. He finds a way to get it done. I just love his game. He’s a little guy but he goes to the areas & finds a way to score certain goals & that’s what goal scorers do….his shot is elite.” pic.twitter.com/VOA0QV6p47

ICYMI: Ivan Demidov clinched the No.1 spot in our annual prospect rankings, as voted upon by Habs fans. The talented forward started his NHL career with a bang, assisting and scoring a goal in his very first period wearing a Montreal Canadiens jersey. It’s hard to keep expectations realistic in his case, but until the Habs lock down the No.2 centre position, Demidov will face an uphill battle when it comes to producing. Fortunately, he’s among the most talented prospects to ever be drafted by the Canadiens, and he never backs away from a challenge. [Canadiens Prospect Rankings – Ivan Demidov The Gifted]

Canadian hockey and Canada will forever hold Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby dear. On Canadian soil, in overtime, with the world watching, Crosby scored probably the biggest goal of his life, and Canada won the 2010 hockey gold medal. [Pittsburgh Penguins]
Connor McDavid had the opportunity to put any speculation of his future to bed when he was asked where things stand between him and the Edmonton Oilers on a new contract. [Boston Bruins]
It’s been a quiet summer for the Vegas Golden Knights. They took care of business early, acquiring Mitch Marner and re-signing their key players before Free Agency began. However, there’s one bit of business the Golden Knights still need to address, and that’s extending Jack Eichel. [Vegas Golden Knights]
