Ivan Demidov’s sticks arrived at Montréal Airport

After the famous (cursed) gloves of Marian Hossa… Here’s tangible proof that the young man’s landing on North American soil is imminent. It’s true!

Here’s an image where we can see his stick, for reference.

Some interesting information also comes out of the express episode of the podcast. First, the young man and his girlfriend, Katya, will spend one or two days in Istanbul before landing, probably in Toronto.

Max was informed that the Canadiens are not tripping over the idea of welcoming Demidov with thousands of people at the Montreal Airport…

1. For security reasons
2. To not shake him
3. To not have players in the locker room have bad emotions or frustrations about the hype surrounding Demidov

This is why he might land in Toronto. It would be “too much”, in other words.
