Five overtime wins after 12 games: a first in NHL history

Indeed, the Habs are the first team in history to record five overtime wins through their first 12 games of a season.

That’s quite a feat, and shows just how unique and exciting the Habs’ start to the season really is.

Of course, it can also be seen as a cause for concern that the Habs can’t often win games on a regular basis, but in the end, the important thing right now is to rack up the points.

Perhaps at the end of the season, the fact that the Habs have fewer regular wins (RV) will work against them in a potential tie-breaker in the standings, but so far, there’s nothing to worry about.

It’s a very telling record for the Canadiens, as it shows just how much talent and confidence there is in the team right now.

These five overtime victories also tell part of the story of the Habs season in terms of the team’s fighting spirit.

The Habs were always in the hunt in every one of their games, and were never downgraded, even in their three losses, which could easily have been victories.

The Habs always play close games, and are never beaten, while very often finding a way to get back into the game and come out on top.

In short, the Canadiens’ hockey this season has been REALLY fun so far.

Overtime

– Bravo!

– It’s understandable.

– Well said.

– Phew.
