Here's What Ivan Demidov Shouted After His Tying Goal and Fans Can't Stop Watching
The young Ivan Demidov set the Bell Centre on fire with several incredible sequences, including a spectacular goal and an unexpected reaction that got every Montreal Canadiens fan talking.
It's the kind of moment Montreal Canadiens fans won't forget anytime soon.
As the Canadiens were trailing 4-3 in the third period, the young Ivan Demidov found the back of the net to tie the game, literally making the Bell Centre explode.
According to journalist Anthony Martineau of TVA Sports, Demidov shouted at the top of his lungs after his goal:
"Fu*k yeah!!!!"
You can really feel all his passion in that reaction. It's beautiful to see.
And let's just say the crowd at the home opener loved it.
Here's the clip of the goal in question:

This tying goal, his first of the season, was a real turning point in the Canadiens' 5-4 victory over Seattle.
I also want to highlight the superb pass from Patrik Laine on Demidov's goal - he's been the target of a lot of criticism in recent weeks. Hats off to him.
Cole Caufield then ended the game in overtime, taking a great pass from Lane Hutson to give Montreal the win.
But it was Demidov's sequence that really stole the show.
On social media, fans went wild. In my opinion, I even think this goal could mark the true beginning of the Demidov era in Montreal (say I'm getting carried away, but I don't care!).
The 19-year-old Russian showed everything that makes him a future star player: an incredible pass on Newhook's goal, followed by a magnificent goal scored at just the right moment.
Here's the famous pass on the game's first play:
Even Martin St-Louis couldn't hide his smile on the bench after the celebration.
That kind of energy is contagious - and it could be felt all the way through the stands... and even at home for fans all across Montreal.
