    I have a bad feeling about this game. I hope I am wrong.

  3. SarcasticMartin

    Did Texier take a bad hit Saturday? I figure he’s now a permanent on the roster, not a Veleno/Blais filler, correct?

  4. dessanct

    Struble AND Dobeš in the same game. Not feeling confident but Go Habs Go!!

  5. What a big test for Dach, going on the first line right away against the wilds

  6. haddonfieldsecret

    Starting a (presumably) rusty Dach with 1st line minutes is certainly a choice. I hope people don’t see the rust and think Dach should never be an option.

  7. MentalLysis

    Dach played on the first line a few years ago and did well enough. Lets hope he can replicate what he did back then without getting injured, knock on wood.

  8. CanadaRewardsFamily

    Good to see that we’re easing Dach back into action by tossing him on our #1 line against the 2nd best team in the NHL.

    Dobes magic 🙏

    He might have let in a bunch, but haven’t lost with him for a while. So, we take those.

    Let’s try not to trash him too hard if he looks rusty. It’s his first game back going against the opponent’s best.

  12. Canadjen

    Great to see Dach back in the lineup but sucks that Xhekaj sits for Struble. Foligno might get another hat trick tonight with nobody to neutralize him

  13. FormalWare

    Nick and Cole have palpably suffered from Juraj’s absence at 5-on-5. Let us hope Kirby clicks with them. He’s big and he’s skilled – and we can’t clone Slafko, unfortunately.

  14. alija_r

    I think that this is the lineup that MSL enjoys the most. Xhakaj out, Dach in, not sure of his feelings about Dobes.

  15. grimandnordic1

    Trial by fire for Dach

    I’m hopeful he looks even just decent

  16. ZukesFan14

    Some people don’t remember but a while ago Dach was on the first line and he looked amazing there, I believe in him to be amazing on that first line again. Might take a bit of time but he clearly has the potential.

  17. DelugeQc

    At least, they bench Xhekaj for the lesser physical team of the week.

  18. I like starting him with nick and cole playing fast, he’s got the skill and size for sure.

  19. Aggressive_Low7995

    Dach, if he can stay healthy and play with just a little edge, is a much better fit on the line than Texier. I know, those are big ‘ifs’.

  20. Plastic-Brick-1469

    I put my trust in Dach for today.
    1st goal of the game is his.

  21. 4CrowsFeast

    I don’t think this would have happened with Texier in the line up since hes been playing great on the 1st. 

    Its do or die now for Dach. He basically has to make an immediate impact before Texier returns to convince Marty to keep him there. 2nd and 3rd lines are set chemistry wise, so if he does t make an impression, hes likely going down to the 4th

  22. Scase15

    Dach on the top line first game back, and Struble playing.

    Yikes.

  23. ExpertTranslator5673

    What’s the over/under on Dach getting hurt tonight?

  24. bluAstrid

    3 righties on the same line is certainly a choice.

  25. Marty knows what’s up. I’m exciting to see Dach back and hoping he fits in with that line.

  26. Moist_Jaguar691

    mSL and the team is rooting for Dach. They got his back.
    I think they want to see him succeed , and at least play for that next contract and show everyone what hes got.
    Hopefully it’s a win win situation.

  27. Thats a silver plate opportunity for Dach. We all know he has the talent to be a great support on that line BUT PLEASE STAY HEALTHY KIRBY

    This is a really weird decision that I don’t really agree with. Putting the perma injured player who hasn’t played in months and for only 15 games before that, and missed another half season before that and throwing him on the first line to play against other teams best players and for 15-17mins right away? Man that’s a fucking interesting decision. Good luck to Dach. Don’t go in the corners (legit what Suzuki and Caufield need lol fucking weird decision)

  30. Justgototheeffinmoon

    Texier day to day, not a nice response to is great performance over the last couple of games.

    edit : I saw he was injured, so I spoke too quickly

  31. ParamoreRiot

    I’ll never like taking Arber out for Struble

  32. MattRazor

    I’m placing faith in the org. Rooting for Kirby no matter what.

  33. DFF_Canuck

    Putting him on the top line accomplishes a few things:

    – Gives a quick(?) and offensive-focused option to Suzuki and Caufield

    – Tests to see if Dach can be an asset to our offense

    – Showcases him to potential trade partners.

    It’s not lineup building 101 by any means, but I think there’s logic here.

  34. anacondatmz

    Gotta say I’m surprised to see Dach on the first line. They were cautious with not over playing Ghule, lower minutes to start – sat out a game. Yet Dach who seems more injury prone than Dach is getting top line minutes his fist game back. Top line minutes against other teams top line first night back seems like a recipe for disaster.

  35. matt236246

    It could be that they are « showcasing » & Pump+Dumping him before a trade

    Multiple insiders have told that the team might do that to Laine/Dach

  36. Over_Contact_5032

    Has struble been playing better than Wifi to warrant getting playing time over him?

  37. He signed his contract and now he’s « injured » lol Freaking NHL insurance .
