Montreal Canadiens forward Kirby Dach expressed his thoughts on the misconduct penalty handed to Detroit Red Wings defenseman Simon Edvinsson during a recent game. Dach, who has shown exceptional growth this season, emphasized the need for more clarity regarding the 'hockey play' rule, which often leaves room for interpretation. He believes that such calls can significantly impact the flow of the game and the players' safety on the ice.
Dach's commentary reflects the frustrations many players feel when controversial penalties disrupt the rhythm of the match. He stated that while he understands the referees have a tough job, clarity is essential for both players and fans alike. The Canadiens, currently fighting for playoff positioning, rely on players like Dach to lead by example on the ice.

Dach’s insights are a reminder of the challenges players face, especially when the stakes are high and the lines between legal and illegal plays can become blurred. As the NHL continues to evolve, discussions like these are crucial for shaping the future of the game.
