Wow, that's music to our ears. And there's more:
"Criticism doesn't affect him; he always perceives it correctly.
Sometimes he plays less, sometimes more-it's inevitable.
His reaction is always the same: more training and hard work."
All of this is incredibly exciting for what's to come.
At just 18 years old, Demidov has amassed 20 points in 31 games this season in the KHL, which is absolutely incredible and historic, considering he's playing only about 6-7 minutes per game in one of the top three hockey leagues in the world.
