Indeed, Dach didn't just stay at home; he attended practices and games, which allowed him to see other aspects of the game.
It's to his credit, and he'll be able to add this experience to his toolkit. Now, a summer of training awaits him, as he'll certainly want to be 100% ready for the start of the next season.
One thing is certain, despite the smiles he showed when seen with his teammates, it wasn't easy for him. Imagine training so hard all your life, and on a smaller scale all summer to prepare for the upcoming season, only to get injured in the 2nd game for the rest of the year. Psychologically, it must not have been easy.
However, number 77 held on, and it's partly thanks to the support of the fans. He even wanted to thank you via his Instagram account. Coming from Kirby, who doesn't post often and remains quite discreet usually, it's worth gold.
Honorable mention to the Canadiens organization, to Martin St-Louis, and his coaching staff, for allowing him to be involved in another way. It certainly played a big role.
Now, let's look forward. Next season, the Canadiens will have two quality centers with him and Nick Suzuki. Kent Hughes must now do his job and find him productive wingers.
