After around thirty games this season, we felt that Kirby Dach was not playing to the best of his abilities. He had just nine points after his first 34 games, while playing on the first power play.
Dach, however, has found his bearings over the last six games. He accumulated five points, including four goals, during this sequence. That’s pretty remarkable for a player who was looking for himself not too long ago.
It proves that its development is not finished. He can give even more and become what the Canadiens expected from him when they went for him in a trade with the Blackhawks.
What could have explained Dach’s setbacks with the Blackhawks was his attitude. During the last episode of the podcast Sort the zone from 98.5 Sports and La Presse, Stéphane Waite revealed that the striker had problems in Chicago before being traded.
This is probably what led to a trade by the Blackhawks, who got rid of their young player while they were in rebuilding mode.
It would be surprising to see Kent Hughes get rid of a top prospect in the middle of a rebuild!
In addition to that, it should be noted that the Blackhawks traded Dach for a draft pick in the middle of the selection session. They completed the transaction without being sure what they would get in return.
This shows how much the Blackhawks wanted to get rid of their player.
-Waite was pretty brief about it, but he still said Dach’s attitude was lacking when he was in Chicago.
As Waite explains, we’re talking about a situation that took place several years ago and Dach has had time to mature and learn to manage his attitude problems.
The former Canadiens and Blackhawks goaltending coach sees positives in Dach’s game recently, but he still thinks there is still work to be done in his case.
When Kirby Dach is happy, he produces! His five points in his last six games reflect the Canadians’ winning streak. Montreal is benefiting from Dach’s good streak, who has scored a few winning goals in the team’s last matches.
In burst
– It’s impressive!
– Bergeron remains optimistic.
– The Tigers are moving on.
