Kent Hughes on the airport: “It’s what makes Montreal the best hockey city in the world”

In recent days, DansLesCoulisses committed a nameless crime: filming in a public place.

Obviously, I’m joking here, referring to the images of Ivan Demidov at Toronto’s airport last Thursday. We were on site and it made several fans happy who are hungry for this type of content. The images were seen and shared by many people. #TheNumbersDontLie

And as we can see, Demidov himself didn’t play the offended party either.

Several people (including Darren Dreger) don’t understand the buzz, but don’t expect Kent Hughes to scold people for showing up to see him at Toronto’s airport.

On the contrary.

In fact, during his press conference today, the GM of the Canadiens was questioned on the subject and let’s just say he didn’t exactly look unhappy about what happened.

On the contrary.

The GM spoke about the passion of the fans and the fact that it’s more proof that Montreal is the best hockey city in the world. The passion of the fans is important.

He also said that it’s visible in the soccer culture and he thinks Demidov felt welcome in the city. So, in short, the GM (who addressed the media today) mostly understood everything, if we believe his public statements.

Montreal has many disadvantages for players. But seeing how Demidov was received on Thursday (and Sunday, when dozens of fans went to see him practice in Brossard), it’s an advantage.

And a big one… for players who thrive on that.
