'A Really Great Teammate': Jake Evans Praises Ivan Demidov in Heartfelt Statement
While the Canadiens are off to a solid start to the season with two wins in three games, Jake Evans found a nice way to salute his young teammate Ivan Demidov.
Evans took a moment to talk about the young Russian prodigy, and I really enjoyed reading his comments.
"He's obviously a really talented player, but the thing thats impressed me the most is how good of a person he's been." - Jake Evans
He added that he especially admired the way Demidov fits into the team despite the pressure that comes with his status as a young star.
"He's always trying to learn, doesn't care if you're a lot less skilled than him, he's always trying to learn from everyone. He's been just a really great teammate."
I think this really shows the impact Demidov already has in the Canadiens' locker room.
And for a player only 19 years old, this kind of comment from an experienced teammate like Evans is worth its weight in gold.
I must admit that his integration into the locker room is what matters most, in my opinion.
Ivan Demidov is already impressing everyone with the Montreal Canadiens
During the game against Chicago, he was even targeted physically several times by the Blackhawks, but continued to play with intensity, proving that he backs down from nothing.
The article from The Athletic explains it well: Demidov showed what he was really made of in a game where he was clearly targeted, but never wavered.
Furthermore, we saw another example yesterday to support Evans' sentiment.
Demidov made headlines not only for his exceptional talent but also for the small details he added to his game Saturday night.
What a beautiful backcheck!
