Player Discussion Kirby Dach: Welcome to Montreal part 2

[KevSkillz4]

Maybe it's a sign of god. If Laine don't play this season, Dach will be a healthy guy for the rest of the season. That's going to be very fine to me. Because Dach is more important for the future.

Dach is my favorite player, but stay HEALTHY please!!

Attaboy Kirby !

Menace

Okay but for real. This guy is so good. He could literally be better than Suze and y'all know how much I love the Thick dick nick.

 

[Lafleurs Guy]

Goals in back to back games?

Dude’s gonna win the Richard.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Once this kid puts all the freak health issues behind him, what a force.

 

[Andy]

Dach is so Getzlaf-esque.

He has overlooked mean steak.

His development is so important to the habs taking the next step. Such a pivotal piece. He's completely different player from Nick, but they have the same offensive PPG potential.

 

[HomaridII]

I was at the game last night. Dach looked great all night, very physical, dominant. He looks ready to have a special season.

My only gripe is that he does play a little recklessly. He's pretty fearless in puck chases and and is super aggressive when battling for 50/50 pucks in open ice. It's what makes him effective, but it puts himself in some dangerous plays.

Not saying he should tone down the ‘’aggressiveness’’ because when he gets in his game he is special but he doesn’t have to be all in 100% of the time to have success. He’s a natural.

Nick needs to teach him how to pick his spots.

 

[Jaynki]

Incredible the level of plays he already show with an edge in his game after missing a whole year.

He, Hutson and Laine are three impact player that greatly enhance our team.

Slowest left hook in the nhl but looked great at hockey.

Well said. That's my biggest fear with him...he just lacks a little awareness sometimes . He's no Suzuki in that department I'll tell you that lol. I think Nick has eyes in the back of his head, kid never gets pinched.

Haha yé pas ambidextre en tabarnak.

Get these kids striking lessons for sure...

Get these kids striking lessons for sure...

Georges Laraque is ready to give lessons !!!!!

 

[Mrb1p]

He's so good honestly. I knew he was this good, but it's so nice to actually see it. Dach is one of the reason why the people that think this team is so far out are wrong. We have 6 legit top 6 players with Nick, Slaf, Dach, Laine, Cole and Demidov and at least two mid 6 in Newhook and Roy.

It's time to start competing.

 

[Trabdy2]

Dach looked quite a bit better yesterday than his earlier preseason games. That skating, size, handling combo is going to be hard for teams to deal with, and he's a slick passer too. I'm really excited to see him in the season.

 

[Jaynki]

Hard to believe that Chicago traded such a prototype centerman at 21YO to start a rebuild.

And not even for a top 10 pick. These type are so hard to find they might not be able to access such a C for the entirety of Bedard prime.

 

[Jabba11]

And the Senators fans were saying Greig won the fight?

 

[Rapala]

I had a dream last night Kirby scored a hat trick in his first real game back.
The weird thing was all three goals bounced off him one way or the other none were shots or dekes.
Bell Center didn't care I didn't care Kirby was killing it with his net front.

 

[HuGo Sham]

great stuff from about 3:32

Pre-draft, I thought his best attributes were his stick-handling, puck protection and passing. Add the physical tools, and it's no wonder why the Hawks "reached" for him at 3rd OA. Why they got rid of him is still a mystery though lol.

He got hurt and they mismanaged the injury.
