The head coach of the Montreal Canadiens, Martin St-Louis, has just made significant changes to the power play, and Ivan Demidov is paying the price.
Things are shaking up today for the Tricolore, following yet another loss, this time 3-2 against the Boston Bruins.
In the past few minutes, the Canadiens made some pretty major changes to the power play.
The young Ivan Demidov pays the price for the Montreal Canadiens’ power-play struggles
I really didn’t see this one coming…
Ivan Demidov has just learned that he’s being demoted to the second power-play unit… ouch.
So Zachary Bolduc has earned a promotion and is placed on the first power-play unit, while young Ivan Demidov unfortunately takes the hit with a demotion and is moved down to the second wave.
Personally, I really don’t believe this was the solution to jump-start the Habs’ power play, but hey, I truly trust Martin St-Louis, so I’m very curious to see what happens next…
And you, do you like these changes?
Do you think it was the right decision to “move” Ivan Demidov off the first power-play unit?
