Player Discussion Kirby Dach: Welcome to Montreal part 2

[sampollock]

So sad for fans....
But really terrible for Kirby

 

[Habs4Life]

injury prone trade him

 

[Redux91]

The guy was healthy when? How many of those freak injuries will he have? How come Suzuki doesn't have freak injuries? How come others have them? Are they not subject to hits?

Freak injury...the guy hurt himself playing tough hockey. Not by receiving a plane on the head...

You're very upset right now
Please take a deep breath
You'll regret a lot of this when Dach 'comes back from his injury' and looks good again
People get hurt
Dach was the unlucky 1st this year, and I can assure you, will not be the only one.

I'm immediately transported to that time Price accidentally sliced Markovs tendon, and Andrei was out 3 months and it was MISERY here.. this is what it feels like today
A big injury happening so soon, it just dis-lodges people's calibration a bit and they don't start thinking straight for a bit
But It'll be 'ok'

(If it's torn ACL tho, it's the #1 thing we'd like to avoid, the grim mood can obviously be vented.. but to attack the player himself for getting hurt is just bad form I find)

 

[SlafySZN]

didn't Nazar miss all of last year because of a knee injury?

Even better, a hip surgery.

 

[red devil]

 

[Skip Bayless]

They told him?

 

[Ezpz]

Well ok. I guess the season's over. At least we got two games of cope.

 

[Ajhccwrs]

Top 5 Pick here we come!

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Well people wanted another high pick........

 

[PavelBrendl]

f***ing brutal. I was so excited to see his progress this year, but instead it looks like the team is picking up right where they left off last year.

 

[417]

Must be a very long term injury, see season ending, if everyone in the organization knows but it hasn't yet been communicated.

Maybe waiting for a second opinion.

Just trying to read the tea leaves here.

Nice troll

 

[Guy Larose]

He missed a huge amount of time last year because of injury and certain users here were sneering about the trade being a clear win for the Habs due to it. The point isn't to continue sneering but to expose the nastiness and put an end to this toxic streak in Habs fandom.

You're a huge part of it on this site LMAO

They're trying to get ahold of Gregory House.

 

[FerrisRox]

Taking a victory lap cause you didn't like the trade and you now feel justified because he's injured?

Nasty, nasty work in here!

This started around ten years ago. There's a vocal contingent of this community that would rather be "right" about their hot takes in terms of lineup construction to the point that they will openly root against players or sometimes the team itself if they feel it will support their "opinion." I first remember really being taken aback by this around the time of Jiri Sekac getting traded to Anaheim. A handful of very vocal fans trashed Bergevin and the team for the trade and made outrageous and hyperbolic statements about Sekac's actual value and how this trade was going to "haunt" the Canadiens, blah blah blah. When they were quickly proven to be hilariously wrong, none of them conceded they were wrong and in fact, several of them just pretended they never made the silly comments in the first place. A year and a half later, the Canadiens traded Sven Andrighetto and a lot of the same bozos made the same claims they had made about Sekac, clearly nobody learned their lesson, but in this case, Adrighetto put up some points right after the trade, so this time they were much louder and much more dramatic in their criticisms of Bergevin and the organization. By the next season, Sven had turned back into a pumpkin, and, much like Sekac before him, quickly played himself out of the NHL. Once again, amazingly, nobody admitted they were wrong, nobody changed their opinion and nobody even acknowledged how out to to lunch they were with their player assessment.


This place never used to be like that. Trades and signings used to garner a wide range of reactions, but there was a thousand shades of grey, not black and white. More recently, there's this weird need by some of our posters to only be black and white. So if they don't like a trade or signing, it's the worst trade or signing ever made and everything is hilariously over the top dramatic, blah blah blah. No matter what happens after that trade, these loud, vocal idiots can't help themselves, they aren't going to trade their mind, so they have to pretend the player is awful even when it's clear they are not.

We are literally watching this happen right now with Juraj Slafkovsky playing his best games in a Canadiens uniform this week and clearly showing great improvement in his physical play, positioning and reads... you would think this would be exciting news at a place like this, but instead, we have the usual suspects trying to pretend he hasn't shown improvement because they would rather Slafkovsky be a huge bust than admit they were wrong.

Go back to the Mike Matheson trade and you can read me arguing with a ton of bozos who were telling me how terrible Mike Matheson was and what an awful trade it was. They don't even care if they know what they're talking about, they just state their opinion, educated or otherwise, and seem to want to die on that hill no matter what.

 

[Ezpz]

Well people wanted another high pick........

I'm fine with this if Kirby can recover 100%. I'm going to be annoyed regardless considering Dach is the guy we wanted getting more minutes more than anyone else except Slaf. We don't really have the center depth for this injury. I guess Newhook moves to center cause everyone in Laval is a winger.

 

[The Great Weal]

Don't get me wrong, losing Dach is a complete disaster, but calling him our best player? Suzuki and CC are most definitely the better players. Can Dach become our best player? Sure, but until that happens you can't say he is.

 

[GoodKiwi]

What is the nature of his ?injury? Can someone clue me in please?

Thanks.

 

[The Real Timo]

And here we go...

Let's look for another center that isn't made of glass.

 

[JackZap]

Cursed every since Molson bought back the team

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

It's sad, we can't catch a break, but he's injury prone...

Habs luck...

It's because that same group of bozos shit on anything our new management does. They've only been in place for like a year and a half. It's always the same group of fake Hab fans that never cheer for anything and just complain about every single thing. If they're wrong they either say nothing, still argue their stupid point that doesn't even make sense, or just say they'll eat crow.

There's no doubt it's looking worse by the minute
I'm praying it's 'just' MCL stuff
Don't think Meniscus because he didn't plant/shock absorb, this feels more like a stretched/torn ligament..
A torn ACL would just bum me out so so bad (But better early in the season than half way I guess, sigh)

 

[CheldishGamibno]

The reason I got tickets very early in the season was to watch a healthy team at the Bell Centre but NO. Still not early ENOUGH! (I'm going tomorrow)

 

[zx81]

Sucks for Kirby.

Looks like we will get plenty of injuries again this season.
2 seasons filled with injuries can not be simply bad luck. Guhle is probably next.
