Player Discussion Kirby Dach: Welcome to Montreal part 2

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Yup, that’s the one.



Crazy how many injuries The General had during that time.

-Knee injury just a few weeks before the 09 playoffs
-Aforementioned cut at the start of the 09-10 season
-Second knee injury vs Pitts in the 2010 playoffs
-3rd knee injury vs Canes (f***in Staal) I don't remember exactly when

 

[Toene]

Wow. What a kick in the nuts. Dude was becoming my favorite player. I'm so sad for him, it's gotta be so hard on his morale.

 

[jrom]

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

They should put him in charge of the PP

 

[Whitesnake]

See you next year. Wonder what will be next. Sad.

I’m looking at old footages and to my surprise he almost got injured twice immediately after his return in 2012.





I wasn’t even aware of these two close calls. Freaking insane, Markov had the worst luck during that stretch. We definitely got robbed of his prime years.

Entire team morale I think.

First thing Matheson said was how he was one of their best at carrying the puck and it will be sorely missed.

I'd say he was the only one who could.

RIP King, see you on the other side babyboy.

That shit hurt so bad. Him coming back after so long just to get injured almost right after.

We were a different team with prime Markov. He had Price's impact before Price entered his prime.

Pisses me off. Why Habs ...

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Maybe we deserve it for the galaxy brain GMing of staking our entire future on players who haven't lived up to their potential

ACL are not career ending injuries anymore.

Dude even I wouldn't tear my ACL on that hit

What is your point exactly? Are you a doctor?

This is such a dumb post

He took one harmless looking hit, did not brace himself for it at all, and ended up on season ending IR

Either it is Dach's fault or the medical staff for letting him play on a wonky leg

This is such a dumb post

There's a reason Dach was moved on from in Chicago

 

[HabbyGuy]

Of all the players on our team that we might have lost for the season I'd be hard pressed to find a more worse case scenario.

Sure losing Caufield or Slaf like this would be awful, but I feel losing Dach has more damaging repercussions for the team an organization as a whole. His continuing progression was vital for both he and his linemates and team in general.

I'm sad

Time to stop posting for the night buddy

 

[FerrisRox]

What? He’s missed games literally every season going back to junior.. I may just be a fan but I don’t need to be a doctor to see that. He’s been a bandaid his entire career. How am I suppose to know if he has anything chronic going on or if he’s just an antenna for bad luck?

As I already said, he didn't suffer any injuries in the 2019-20 season.

He played three games in the AHL and 64 in the NHL. It was a shortened season because of COVID. Months later, he suited up for 9 more in the playoffs.

delete.

Not Gally, never wish this but....has to be Dach

One healthy season in 5 isn’t really the flex you think it is.

Whether it’s being weak or just terrible bad luck, it’s still a recurring theme.

 

[The Real Timo]

Jared Tinordi gets some revenge on the team that drafted him

It was a nothing hit. Even Drouin could have handled it.

Shit. I see on RDS “Saison terminee?”

 

[CAUFIELD]

If Dach has an ACL, he will be back at the earliest beginning of next year .

It’s exactly why people can’t judge by watching on TV. It’s obviously not a ‘’nothing hit’’. His leg got stuck under Tinordi’s and twisted by getting dragged.

But it’s nothing.
