Player Discussion Kirby Dach: Welcome to Montreal part 2

[Monsieur Miz]

It was evident at season start that his conditioning wasn't as good as at the start of season 2, but the report were that he trained like a beast in the off-season. Sometimes it's not how much, but what you trained that make the difference.

Dach mentioned mid-season that he didn't train the right thing too.

I think Savard shared his workout routine with him because he looked just as fat.

Dach, Savy and Monty should have all been assigned shadows to keep their nutrition/fitness in check. Even Suzy regularly comes into training camp with moobs, but my theory is that's where he draws his ironman powers from.

It's crazy how he looked so dominant before the knee injury. Many of us thought he was gonna surpass Suzuki even..

Yeah I don’t understand how we had so many guys out of shape. That should not be happening.

Everyone should just train with Hutson.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Dach is a 3rd line spare part at best at this point. Counting on him for more than that is a recipe for disaster.

Sad but true.

I find the guys who stayed in Brossard improved significantly this year, namely Struble and Anderson. I'd like to see guys like Slaf, Newhook, Demidov and Dach to stay. It would show they're serious about their commitment to improve and be ready.

The game always came easy to Slaf but he's ambitious, we can bet on him not falling into the same trap again.

Dach... well between a series of devastating injuries dating back to Jrs and his personal nature, a leopard can't change his stripes. On a personal level I sympathize (sometimes you just can't make yourself give more) but he's a professional athlete and it's a results-based sport. It isn't incumbant on his GM or the fans to lower standards to accommodate him... he'll get out of it if he gets out of it. The ball is in his court.

The upside: if the Habs acquire top6 help and all of Laine, Dach, and Slaf come in good shape we will have tremendous depth for at least the next year.
