Kirby Dach's Road to Recovery

In a recent TVA Sports broadcast, Renaud Lavoie, a well-known journalist, shared some valuable insights about Kirby Dach, the forward for the Montreal Canadiens. Dach had undergone surgery, performed by a prominent surgeon in New York, and there are specific conditions for his return to the ice.

The Big Condition on Kirby Dach's injury

The primary condition is straightforward: Kirby Dach needs to stay away from hockey for at least eight months. The doctor behind this decision has seen cases where athletes rushed back after only six or seven months, which often led to more injuries, like hip or groin problems. To prevent such setbacks, the surgeon insists on an eight-month recovery period.

'This doctor has seen too many athletes come back to play after six or seven months. It caused other problems. The player would end up injuring a hip or groin. So don't be surprised if Dach jumps on the ice sometime in February. People will say: 'He's going to be back soon!' No, he will not be back soon.
-Renaud Lavoie''

Realistic Expectations

For those eager to see Kirby Dach back in action, Renaud Lavoie offers a grounded perspective. He suggests that Dach might be back on the ice around February. However, it's crucial to note that this won't be a hasty return.

Despite the anticipation, Lavoie underlines that Dach's return in the playoffs, should the Canadiens secure a spot, remains uncertain. Right now, the focus is on Dach regaining strength in his knee.

''He needs to rebuild strength around his knee. Don't expect a return to play unless the CH is in the semi-finals or the Stanley Cup finals.''

-Renaud Lavoie

As Kirby Dach embarks on his journey to recovery, Canadiens and Blackhawks fans wish him the best.
