I feel there’s a difference between “waiting” on the guy like he’s totally going to carry a contending top 6 line in the nhl and somehow save the habs vs keeping him around because of potential on bottom lines and always looking for options.
This thread sounds more polarized than it needs to be imo. Not sure how the spotlight of the green jacket run helps his confidence either playing vs top opposition while rehabbing.

I thought his skating looked better. Had some good passes and stickhandles too. Let's hope its a sign of him turning it around, even if slowly.

My analysis is that this guy sucks and is ridiculously lazy. If he doesn't show anything early next season, you just hope that he's a checking bottom 6 winger.

Won’t happen over months either apparently. Can’t wait until these positive steps don’t consist of "well he didn’t shit in his pants tonight so that’s good"
Now he needs to work on his balance.
He finds himself on his keister more than he should.
Size obviously isn't the issue but he seems weak on his pins.

Strome wasn't 2 goals in 31 games and league worst plus/minus bad though. Dach has long way to go

I have faith in Dach, I think he'll turn it around become a credible 2C.

Its a slow burn but it seems like he's putting his game back together piece by piece.
I thought he looked pretty good yesterday - but it was the Sabres. Way more confident than I've seen him all year.
Still missing that first burst of speed he had in his first season.

no shots, no points, no hits and a -1 in a blowout vs a totally crap team, playing on an offensive line while being Invisible all evening.
Drew some penalties getting ragdolled, high sticked and tripped so that’s good (man he’s unlucky).
You reaaalllly want us to like him lol

That line dominated possession. He set up Newhook and had an assist on the Laine "goal".
Not only that but he got in and used his shot.
You don't have to like him, I don't care. But at least acknowledge when he played a good game. Which he did. He has slowly raised his game over the last couple of weeks and the process should result in points sooner rather than later.
He drew those penalties through his effort, which is something you guys want to knock at every turn.

I don’t see how any of those penalties were a result of effort, which I don’t personally question; I think he is giving his best after a series of really bad injuries.

I try not to use break or any connotation of break in posts about Kirby Dach.

As categorical as I have been about his performance I’m empathetic to him, I mean poor guy. I hold my breath when he’s in traffic almost as often as I used to when watching Markov fetch pucks in the corner.I try not to use break or any connotation of break in posts about Kirby Dach.
