  1. Tfw your brain is so tired that it blends “underwent” and “successful” into “unsuccessful” and gives you a mini heart attack…

    That’s good, hope he can get a good chunk of off-season to get back into game shape and have another great training camp

    This is gonna continue making me sad for the rest of the season. It’s not just losing Kirby, but it’s also such a blow to Slaf and Newhook and the team as a whole 🙁

    I wish Mr. Dach a speedy and full recovery ![img](emote|t5_2r10m|21702)

    What if, and hear out my delusional take, we make the playoffs? I know you don’t rush these things, but is there any chance we pull a Kucherov/Stone?

  5. Is this really a 12 month recovery or so time line?

    Interesting write up on the doctor who performed the surgery, for anyone who would like to feel a little more optimistic for Dach. He’s a top expert on ACL surgery and reconstruction, sports medicine, and is the team physician for the Rangers and consulting surgeon for the UFC and Juilliard. He’s published 300 scholarly articles and six books. He’s a professor of orthopedic surgery for Cornell. And he’s from Montreal.

    Kirby seems to be in the best possible hands, literally.

    Ok genuine question here.

    On jase. Les gens disent 6-9mois peut-être le temps de guérison.

    Les series sont dans 6 mois…. soooooo

    Edit: j’ai vu sur r/hockey ce matin les odds des teams de faire les séries et nous serions a 28.2% selon ce que j’ai vu.

    Can he be back for playoffs?

    After the surgery his knee is aiming to help distribute goal equally among all the nhl teams and support kirby and his habs commune

    Every surgery ever performed on an athlete in the history of professional sports is reported as successful surgery.

    When’s the last time you heard an athlete had unsuccessful surgery?

    That said, I am so pumped at how well the boys are playing, and I want Kirby back ASAP. We need our second line to start contributing.
