We have an update regarding the young forward for the Montreal Canadiens, Kirby Dach.

After being demoted by St-Louis last week, and despite everything going well for the Habs at the moment, things just aren’t improving for Dach.

It went unnoticed, but last night against the Nashville Predators, the forward was penalized by head coach Martin St-Louis.

«Kirby Dach will have to find consistency.

Patrik Laine’s center didn’t play badly, but he took a bad penalty in the third period.. and we didn’t see him back on the ice.

Martin St-Louis sent his message during and after the game.»

Lane Hutson played little yesterday (and that’s a good thing).

After the game, Martin St-Louis indeed conveyed his message to Dach once again after penalizing him during the match.

This is the «hard coaching» we’ve been hearing about.

The 23-year-old center was indeed «benched» for a good part of the third period and played less than 13 minutes in total. Ouch.

We repeat ourselves, but it would be such a huge boost for the Montreal Canadiens and their rebuild if Dach could become a star player in the National Hockey League.

It seemed possible a year ago, but now, it’s getting harder and harder to imagine.

Let’s keep hope alive!

 

And you, where do you see Kirby Dach in a few years?
