Kirby Dach is hit in the head and leaves the game

The forward was hit very high near the head and fell awkwardly on the ice. Misfortune continues to strike him, and a concussion cannot be ruled out.

The Senators player received only a 2-minute penalty on the play. At the time of writing, Kirby Dach is still not back in the game.

It's becoming very obvious that the Canadiens' best players are constantly targeted by opposing players. If no one sends the message that it will come at a cost, the opponents will continue.

Kirby Dach also needs to learn to protect himself, as he often puts himself in vulnerable positions. If he has a concussion, it wouldn't be his first.

From the video we see, I understand that the initial contact is not to the head, but when a player hits another player who no longer has the puck for a while, I find it "cheap."

It was a completely unnecessary hit by Greig, and as long as the NHL doesn't take action, nothing will change.

I sincerely hope that Kirby Dach will be in good shape for the rest of camp and the first game of the season on October 9. Another injury could have catastrophic effects for him.

Update: Kirby Dach has returned to the game. This is very good news under the circumstances, and it indicates that he successfully passed the concussion protocol.
