On Demidov’s new tricks…

[Sportsnet @Sportsnet]

It’s pre-season, but Ivan Demidov is already in mid-season form both on and off the ice.

If he continues to do what he did on Saturday against the Maple Leafs, Demidov could go from hard to stop to practically unstoppable. (@EricEngels) https://t.co/vOCqaKJNQI

The Canadiens start the pre-season 2-0.

[Eric Engels @EricEngels]

Yay, overtime!

Teddy Black and Blueger.

On Dobes, and what he learned from the cautionary tale Sam Montembeault wrote last season.

[Sportsnet @Sportsnet]

So much of goaltending is about mindset, and it’s hard to imagine Jakub Dobes having a better one heading into his first official season as Montreal Canadiens starter. @EricEngels explains why it matters. https://t.co/lRu785V2OU

[Eric Engels @EricEngels]

Sam Montembeault on what impresses him most about Jakub Dobes: “I think it’s his competitiveness. He goes out there sometimes and it’s not always pretty, but you know he’s going to compete on every shot. You’re going to see him dive, go side to side, and he really wants every shot.”

What makes you feel like you’re ready?
David Reinbacher: “You’ll see this weekend.”

Sharing thoughts on why the top two lines we saw Thursday will likely be intact come opening night of the regular season:

[Eric Engels @EricEngels]

@corylav I’m really sorry for you and your family, Cory. Thinking of all of you.

[Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC]

John and Christina Mayich have two requests.

First, they want the world to learn more about their son, Matthew.

Second, no matter where you are from or what faith you follow, say a prayer for him

[Sportsnet @Sportsnet]

It might just be Day 1, but the Canadiens' top-six forward lines on Thursday made a lot of sense.

@EricEngels dives deeper into the early combinations. https://t.co/3C7O7mihzj

[Eric Engels @EricEngels]

Today's Habs lines/pairings were:
Caufield-Suzuki-Kreider
Slafkovsky-Kapanen-Demidov
Newhook-Evans-Berard
Xhekaj-Danault-Anderson
Texier-Dach-Bolduc
Hutson-Carrier
Struble-Xhekaj
Matheson-Dobson
Engstrom-Reinbacher

Hutson-Carrier

Habs camp groups

[Eric Engels @EricEngels]

Had a preminition we'd see this to start:
Caufield-Suzuki-Kreider
Slafkovsky-Kapanen-Demidov

[Sportsnet @Sportsnet]

The Canadiens have earned the hype. But this next step out of the rebuild is a huge leap, and we're going to find out if the Canadiens are ready to take it without tripping, writes @EricEngels. https://t.co/wBoB8axAKv
