The Chicago Blackhawks experienced a familiar face during last nights game, that face was Kirby Dach who ended up taunting the entire Blackhawks crowd after scoring the game-winning goal.
Dach was traded to the Montreal Canadiens at the NHL draft this summer and has found a fresh start in his new blue and red threads, and is off to a career high point-total start.
Kirby Dach slots into the Canadiens organization with a bright future alongside Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki, Kaiden Guhle, Arber Xhejaj and the first overall pick in the 2022-23 draft Juraj Slafkovsky.
Slafkovsky is just 18 years of age, and is currently the youngest player in the NHL, what were you doing at that age- quite crazy, right?
Slafkovsky is still learning the ways of the fast-paced NHL play, and has struggled with keeping his head up at times where he is most vulnerable, sadly last night he endured a check to his upper-body and left the game.
Blackhawks forward Jason Dickinson laid a big body check on Slafkovsky when he had his head down, and hell broke loose afterwards, check it out below:
