Keep it up, Kirbo!

 

[Chose]

I was expecting that come back, but it is good to see it !

 

[Andy]

Even if Dach never regains that 2022 form, I hope that we can have a healthier, more mature and nuanced debate.

The endless spamming of brain rot in the other thread was just so unproductive.

Hopefully it’s a sign of things to come. Just stay off the IR and maybe call someone up to give him a better linemate than Newhook.

I think his better linemate is still in a manger with farm animals and his parents in a stable near St Petersburg.

First goal was slick. As long as he can drive the net with soft hands like that. He’ll be a player

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Hope it sign of things to come

Cautiously optimistic

Lots of time he still goes completely disengaged then there are times he wows you.

At least the wow times are becoming more frequent

[Guess]

Offensively he is looking better.

Defensively, he's not at the level he was before the injury, he's not all over the ice intercepting pucks and winning puck battles with his size like he was before.

Confident that he will get there in time.

Dach is looking incredible the past little while! Hopefully he keeps it up.

 

[Trabdy2]

It's awesome seeing the offense and production coming from him more consistently. It's so refreshing seeing a second line that can actually produce and a lot of it is coming from Dach.

Not to be too negative as we've seen a big step up in play from him over the past few weeks, but he can do so much more for us if he improves his play without the puck. I think it'll come in time.

I remember how he looked before his injury, and especially in his stint with Chicago. He was so strong on the boards, battling and using his frame to gain and keep possession. He just needs to find this again and bring it back to his game.

The best part were not his 2 goals but the effect of his chirps to the Utah bench. Guys were all mad

Nobody clipped it on x, they showed it all on the Utah feed.

When we feel like benching him:

For when he scores 2 goals, like last game:

Before his injury, he was doing the same. Dude has some Getzlaf in him.

Hughes should definitely hem on that identity and get Olivier to distribute the ass whoopings when needed.

Didn’t Dach beat someone’s ass that season too in a fight? He has underrated grit when he’s on

But somehow could never possibly center Demidov and Laine. You could put f***ing Desharnais between those two and they’d score a zillion points.

I don’t know what people think you need for a second line on a winner but apparently it has to be wholly made up of HOF talent. Hell we don’t even know how good Dach can be. He has insane tools. That line could easily be an elite 1st line and I sure as hell wouldn’t be that shocked

When he just got healthy scratched:

Dach's skating has really improved over the past few weeks. Very noticeable.

I still don't see 1C potential or him overtaking Suzuki, but can still be a 50-point physical center which is still a great player.
