Now, don't get me wrong, right?

When I talked to you about Doc, Doc played nine minutes and Demidov played 18, right?

Yeah.

I thought Doc, for the amount of minutes that he played, he gave good value to the Canadians tonight, right?

Oh, 100%.

I thought Bolda gave good value to the Canadians tonight.

If we're going to take a look at guys that played a lot of minutes, the players I like most for the guys that played a lot of minutes, I like Demidov and I like Slavkovski.

He's got to get the reps.

I believe he will.

And I really hope he will because they were able to get by Tampa.

Without him at his best, you mean?

Without him at his best, nowhere near his best.

I would say that he was way, way off his best.

I don't know if they'll be able to get through Buffalo if he offers the same kind of performance that he did against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

And so I hope that he'll be able to bounce back because

He had an amazing season.

He scored 51 goals, man.

Once again, no Canadian has done that since 1990, right?

A couple of players scored 50 goals this year, and he was one of them.

He was more clutch than any Canadiens player I've seen in a long, long, long, long, long time this year.
