A Press Conference for Ivan Demidov

The young forward also revealed the correct way to pronounce his name.
Here's what Anthony Marcotte from BPM Sports had to say on the matter:
"Clarification on the pronunciation of Demidov's name. You have to put an emphasis on the 'i' in his name. So, you lengthen the 'i' when pronouncing it."
Good to know!
We tend to say the "i" very quickly when pronouncing his name, but to say it properly, it has to be noticeably elongated.
Demidov, 19, is set to play in his first NHL playoff game with the Montreal Canadiens, after recording two points in two regular-season games.
We can't wait to see the changes Martin St-Louis will make with Ivan Demidov, after hinting at adjustments to his top power-play unit.
