…this is an actual NHLer?

 

[rahad]

The rebuild is still young so this isn't a setback for the team rebuild, hockey teams aren't defined by a single player despite what some people believe in here.

It is a setback for Dach thought.

Dach is missing lot of games. I has hoping he will pass over Nick Suzuki by the end of the year. He is only 22 and with major injury's. I hope he recover fast and can play the last 40 games.

 

[Habssince89]

Before last game I predicted a big game for Dach.

By big game, apparently I meant final NHL game. RIP Dach. You will be missed.

Big game for gallagher now ghg

RIP

RIP

RIP

 

[River Meadow]

He might never come back the same its not a minor injury at all, so yeah losing a year of development and a possibly career altering injury will affect him

He also had at least 1 concussion so far so he never had a break injury wise! Poor guy

Welp.

At least we have the memories.

 

[BenchBrawl]

What a bummer

Is this basement dwelling Twitter clown supposed to be someone important? What a loser, imagine paying for a checkmark when you're a nobody lmao.

The question now is does he retire? Can we get him a job in front office , and get the money off the books?

 

[Skip Bayless]

This is just awful luck. In the grand scheme of things a full acl and mcl tear is a pretty rare injury in hockey. For it to happen on that play too… just weird and terrible luck.

Wishing Dach a good recovery. Feel awful for the kid.

The ACL is always the worst though. Sometimes players never come back the same.

I wonder if Galchenyuk would've fared better without the ACL injury in his draft year. At the time, I found the org. put the concerns under the rug because of his age and the everlasting need for a #1C...but in a sport like hockey, it's fatal.

 

[Habs]

don't worry, a total smurf kent hughes loves will step up and take his spot, then Cole and Nick can go down with injuries.

 

[Paddy17]

I tried to isolate the hit and put it on slo-mo.

It's difficult to see the initial point of contact from this angle but Dach's left knee appears to be hit simultaneously with his upper body.

However, that initial contact may have been immaterial as Dach was seen favoring his right knee upon returning to the bench, which lends credence to the view that it was just a freak accident.

His right leg is caught between Tinordi's legs and it's getting torn and twisted all the way from point of impact to the end point.

This is just the fake rebuild. Suzuki-Caufield-Dach were just patsies for the masterplan.


Keep them entertained while the team sucks ass for 15 years.

Maybe he retires if it’s 1973. Haven’t heard of many young nhl players retiring from a knee injury lately.

Maybe he can replace Burrows as PP coach.

 

[CHfan1]

I know all injuries are different but Andrei Svechnikov had a torn ACL in mid-March. His timeline was 6-9 months. He started skating again in July, we’ll see when he starts playing again (it’s been 7 months now).

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Well that's just terrible.

Gotta hope everything heals amazingly.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Oh man my bad I should have known

It's a fan account.

 

[HabbyGuy]

This sucks on so many levels. He was going to be one of the main reasons to tune in every night, nevermind helping Slaf and Newhook, Dach's progression was just as important as theirs. He is/was a huge piece of this teams future. He was poised for a breakout, such a kick in the nuts.

I feel bad for Dach, his teammates the organization and it's fans.

I don't know what's more depressing... Dach's injury or have to listen to this negative drivel from some to kick both Dach and this team while it's down.

It's quite frankly pathetic.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Jeez, that's awful luck.

I haven't watched much Habs action this year, especially as exams got closer (which unfortunately = regular season time), but I thought he looked really good as a former skeptic. His injury resume is piling up big time

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Reminds me of when Markov came back from injury to start the 2009 season and got injured right away during the first game.

Poor Kirby, he can't catch a break.

IIRC, Price cut Markov's foot/ankle with his skate?

 

[Rob Sense]

He is shopping for a beach house in Florida as we speak!

Yup, that’s the one.



Crazy how many injuries The General had during that time.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

The amount of injuries this team has been plagued with in the past few years is ridiculous.

It's the curse of Bergevin

 

[Rob Sense]

I have seen ACL rebuild surgery when I was a resident. They take part of the kneecap bone and tendon attached to tibia and create plugs that they implant in place of the original torn ACL. Quite cool and once healed it is as solid as the original.

Is he gone for the year yet?

Damn it, I was joking!!
