Insider has just revealed some information about the very strange situation of Kirby Dach

"Forward Kirby Dach will not join the team on the road in Philadelphia. Last week, Dach was diagnosed with an unrelated illness from COVID, which has kept him out of the game since February 16. Medical testing and a thorough evaluation of his condition determined that the illness symptoms experienced were related to a lower body injury." - Montreal Canadiens

I'll tell our listeners what I know. On Monday, as we leave for the trip to New Jersey, I arrived at the arena at the same time as Kirby Dach. Normally, if Kirby Dach arrives at the same time as me, he is fined because he is late. If Kirby Dach has a virus, he doesn't arrive at the arena to infect everyone before everyone goes on the road. We tell him, "Stay home, buddy! Get yourself a little hot water bottle and some chicken broth and then get well." But he came to the arena. And by the time he came to the arena, it was clear that he would not practice and it was pretty clear that he would not make the trip. Now we were told that he might come to Philadelphia, only to be told that he would not. We are being told that the guy is out of the lineup because of a virus, but in the last two weeks he missed every other practice. When I hear the word virus, I'm not a doctor, but I hear contagion. You don't put that with the gang before you leave for a trip!" - Martin McGuire
