I can't believe that I have to post that to just shut up some of the critics from fans (especially on Demidov). If you really watched the game like someone who knows the game yesterday, the top 3 players on this list were clearly the habs forward best players.

You can say what you want about Demidov's lack of finish, but the other details and parts of is game is years ahead of a young russian offensive winger. I think it's pretty rare to have a rookie like him give his 100% every shift.

With all the talk about production wise from Suzuki and Caufield at 5vs5 I will say this.

My god Suzuki has been a tank in all aspect of the game since game 3 for MTL. All the casuals will be blinded by production, but there is literally a stats saying Suzuki is first in these playoffs for pass completed under pressure. Had on to that the insane forecheck, pickpocket, defense and hitting he is doing and what a complete player.

MTL has no second line center so the focus for tampa bay is all on Suzuki. If people watched the panthers the last few years, you guys would know how easy their best player has it. Why? Because Barkov, Reinhart and company don't have to do it all themselves. I mean, even Barkov was not as impressive as Suzuki is right now. I've never seen Barkov playing with the edge Suzuki is playing with right now.

Thats all, I'm more putting the blame on Hughes and Gorton (not really putting blame, because this is not really the year) for not getting Suzuki help at center and second line (Danault is nice, but you know).

I think it's a necessity that they go trade for a real second line center this summer.
