Ivan Demidov breaks his silence with a powerful message Canadiens fans can’t ignore

His message was clear: this young team is only getting started.

A few days after the end of the season, the young forward decided to break his silence and address the fans directly.

It was a message filled with gratitude following a memorable first full campaign.

Demidov first thanked everyone around him.

Management, the coaching staff, and his teammates, for staying united until the final whistle.

But it was his message to the fans that stood out.

“We’re only getting started,” wrote the forward, a statement that promises exciting things ahead.

He even concluded in French:

This message echoes what Rod Brind’Amour had quietly told Martin St-Louis in the post-series handshake line.

The Canadiens are only getting started!

He added 9 points in 19 games during his first playoff experience.

A player this young already producing at that level is truly exciting for what comes next.
