Rare Footage from Nick Suzuki's Wedding Captures Ivan Demidov Letting Loose

While Demidov arrived at the end of the season as the Canadiens experienced the thrill of a late playoff qualification after a spectacular climb in the standings, things were bumpier for Patrik Laine.

His rollercoaster season, however, has not diminished his love for the city of Montreal, which he and his partner cherish now more than ever.

In fact, on Instagram, she posted a touching video to mark the first anniversary of their move.

In this video, we can follow the journey of Jordan Leigh Laine and her partner, the good old Patrik Laine, through clips of several significant moments since their arrival in Montreal.

With the music and the many meaningful moments featured in the video, it's hard not to be moved by this montage. Most notably, it's exciting to see Ivan Demidov-usually seen as rather reserved-having a ton of fun at Suzuki's wedding. You can watch the full video below.

The upcoming season will be an important one for both Laine and Demidov. Laine will become an unrestricted free agent, and while his desire to stay in Montreal is well-documented, his value is currently difficult to assess due to inconsistency.

In Demidov's case, as is the situation with Lane Hutson right now, he will be able to start negotiating with the Canadiens after next season, and he will likely also aim for a big contract.

We'll leave you with these wise words: God, it's about time the season starts!
