[SlafySZN]

His loss is catastrophic.

Fs in the chat for this team without Kirby

You are a true hero, look after yourself so you don't need surgery. What a stupid comment. No one is asking for a surgeon to drop everything, it is just a comment on our so called world class health care. Grow up pup.

Pro athletes get their surgeries done by the most renowned specialists - like Dr. Frank Jobe he of Tommy John surgery from his practice in Alabama.

Dach had his performed by Dr. Robert Marx who’s the renowned head of special surgery @ Cornell University and NYR Team Surgeon as well as for Julliard School…. he’s also a born & raised Mtl’er. I’m sure Gorton had a role to play in the recommendation

This whole surgery argument is absurd ..

“Ever heard of it?”

 

[Rob Sense]

I wonder if there is any news on the post surgery and rehab?

It’s pretty standard with acl surgery early on . Just need time and he will be back as strong as ever

Didn't he join the dad trip and watch some home games after his surgery?

Yes!

His loss is catastrophic.

I was so looking forward to watching his progression this season. After he went down the season was pretty much done for me.

 

[TomKosto]

Biggest bummer of the year...He's the guy I wanted to see play and develops. What a shame...!

 

[Don D]

His loss is catastrophic.

Not sure catastrophic is the right word given the Habs were never going to be a serious contender this year. However it does affect the team in various ways. No one has been able to fill the void. He is definitely missed, but Montreal will draft higher and hopefully get a future contributor!!

Dach died so we could get the top end offensive talent we need in this draft and then next year Dach will claim his spot as top center on the roster.

Would be the blessing of all blessings in disguise.

Yes I'm trying to follow lesser talents, but still hopefully parts of the future, like Ylonen, Struble, Newhook, and Barron - and hoping for as close to the 1st overall pick as possible.

He is such a huge piece of this rebuild.

yeah, and looked to be in good spirits

We need the lottery magic we didn't have last year.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Will still be fine without lottery magic.. those defenseman will go high.

 

[Walrus26]

One less year of wear and tear on that big frame, saving his peak for when we really need it.

Good lad.

was he weight bearing on his knee? Probably crutches.

I was about to post a rant about me missing Dach and saying that season is a waste but your comment put some sun in our dark afternoon! It's true, his injury gives us a chance to draft top 5 again.

Let's just hope the injury doesn't impact his whole career..

Don’t see him ever overtaking Suzuki.

 

[Lshap]

Don’t see him ever overtaking Suzuki.

I do. A healthy Dach could become our best player, as long as his injuries are bad luck and not an ongoing issue.
