His work ethic is unparalleled..He&#8217;s been in Montreal, skating, working out and skating again, twice a day, five days a week. I&#8217;m trying to get him off the ice.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The organization already sometimes has to prohibit Demidov from training on the ice to make him take a bit of rest, which is perfectly healthy and logical.<\/p>\n<p>It really says a lot about the young man&#8217;s work ethic!<\/p>\n<p>Or at the very least, they strongly recommend he take a break.<\/p>\n<p>That said, he can&#8217;t burn himself out before training camp even starts.<\/p>\n<p>I love the Canadiens&#8217; approach to this. For both Hutson and Demidov, the management is right to &#8220;force&#8221; them to take some days off at times.<\/p>\n<p>Previously on HabsFanatics<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tHABSFANATICS.COM<br \/>COPYRIGHT @2025 &#8211; ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.habsfanatics.com\/terms\" class=\"lediv\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">TERMS<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0&#8211;\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.habsfanatics.com\/politic\" class=\"lediv\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">POLICIES<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kent Hughes Expresses Concern Over Ivan Demidov&#8217;s Summer Training Photo credit: Habs Fanatics We just got a very&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":71883,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[433],"tags":[24898,49,48,10396,8467,10097,743,44,448,82],"class_list":["post-71882","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-brossard","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-ivan-demidov","tag-kent-hughes","tag-lane-hutson","tag-montreal-canadiens","tag-news","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71882","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=71882"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/71882\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/71883"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=71882"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=71882"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=71882"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
