Yup, absolutely this is the right take. Mocking the poor guy’s height not even 24 hours after our very own Goal Caufield who is even shorter than Nazar has a huge night is just… wow dude…

He didn’t mock him, the player. He mocked the situation.
You need a guy like Dach on a team that brings something unique so smaller players like Cole can do his thing.
you can’t just have smaller players.
Beyond the puck skills, what I've been impressed with is his tenacity on the puck. He never gives up on the puck and dogfights it.

All they have to do is confess they didn't have clue about what they were talking about.
I had no clue what I was talking about.
Wrist looks solid.

Maybe i’m behind or something lol but what’s doing ‘’la cuillère’’ ?
After the game last night Latendresse criticized Dach which is mind boggling because he had a great game and is the reason of Monahan’s goal…

He was looking for something to criticize, and Dach's name was pulled out of a hat.

Spoon? Spooning?
Biggest takeaway is how our Dr. Recchis (bless them, they are a great source of entertainment), are saying that a wrist that was never at issue after the Habs acquired Dach, now appears that it’s not an issue.

Man, how I wish you could of said this exact thing to that ExpatHabs guy 2 weeks ago when he was calling Slaf a bust in pre-season scrimmages of all things.

I’ve never called him a bust or even insinuated as much. You have the wrong guy. Hit the road.

yeah I think I just assumed he was a big, soft skill guy. Which I would've been fine with if he produced. But seeing some ruggedness is pretty exciting to go along with everything else. I also remember a few people being warded off by the fact that he never put up the points in junior you would've really liked to see from a guy with his overall package. That always stuck with me too. So I was very ho hum on getting him even though I remember Chicago being quite heartened by his rookie year. But from what I'm seeing now this kid is absolutely wild. It just seems bizarre he could be had for what we got him for. It's still early but man oh man what an addition so far.

That reads like Legion of Doom Lite. Gonna be hard to handle with slick Nick and Bilbo on the other line hahaWait till he fills that frame of his completely!
Can't wait for Slafkovsky-Dach-Anderson in a couple of years!
Someone’s got to be a target...for some reason, that guy is Dach.

Seems to be a weird narrative on TVA. Didn't they go after him in the preseason too?

Yes.
Their new target at trying to say he doesn’t look ‘’engaged’’ enough for them.
But Latendresse said he did the ‘’cuillère’’ and i don’t know what that is

Love it!Of all people on this board, I would think you would be the one to make the distinction between a prospect who scored seventy-two GOALS in his draft year for the US NTDP and a prospect who had seventy total points at the same level in his draft year
It's not that Nazar is a bust or a bad prospect, it's that the hysteria this summer about passing up on the vaunted Frank Nazar for the apparent ultra risky gamble of Kirby Dach was pretty over the top. Nazar is not some can't miss prospect with eye-popping production or a singularly valuable skill like Caufield was as a goal scorer. He's a good prospect who I'd probably put as a 2C in the best case with room to fall back as a middle six winger or 3C given his compete.
Nothing wrong with that kind of prospect and I'd love to have him, but it's also not some kind of windfall who you absolutely can't pass up if they drop into your lap the way Caufield was as a prospect. It's perfectly reasonable to believe that Nazar would be a better asset than Dach, but the idea that Dach was some wild crazy gamble relative to picking Nazar just never made any sense to me.

No he wasn’t. Monahan took some FO but Dach took his place back at center right when they started playing.

I didn’t see any in-depth comment about Nazar. I saw someone mocking his height and draft position, to insinuate he will never be any better than the guy who has [let’s all check notes now] no more than 30 pts at any time in his three seasons in the NHL.Of all people on this board, I would think you would be the one to make the distinction between a prospect who scored seventy-two GOALS in his draft year for the US NTDP and a prospect who had seventy total points at the same level in his draft year

Mocking a prospect’s height the day after our own mid-first round, notably short youngster had a smoking hot game is ridiculous. We can enjoy and root for Dach’ as blossoming without taking shots at innocent teenagers, and enjoy Slafkovsky without taking shots at Wright. Maybe that’s news to some of you.

Monahan has taken a lot f faceoffs. For me, that's the role of a centermen. Dach took only two and lost them.
