The Habs are the kings of third-period comebacks

Once again last night, the Montreal Canadiens found a way to come back from behind to win, and thus get their hands on two big points.

The habs quickly fell behind last night, but they didn’t panic, and kept their calm until the end of the game.

The players shifted into second gear in the third period, and it paid off.

It’s not the first time the Habs have managed to come back from behind in the third period to win a game.

In fact, since the start of the season, the habs have ten wins coming back from behind in the third period, which is good for first place in the National Hockey League.

The two wins with comebacks in the 3rd period this week allowed the habs to distance themselves from the seven teams that have eight this season,

Both against the Panthers and against the Flyers, the Habs found a way to fill a deficit in the third period to win the game.

This is really a very beautiful statistic that demonstrates how much character the team has, and how they never give up.

It’s never over when the habs fall behind, and that’s an extremely important quality.

In recent years, the Canadiens had gotten us used to practically never coming back from behind, which made every game very difficult.

This season, it’s one of the big differences, and it’s what allows the habs to be so close to the playoffs.

Obviously, the playoff race amplifies the chances of seeing the Habs come back from behind, especially when they play in front of their fans at the Centre Bell.

Moreover, since the return from the Four Nations break, the Canadiens have not lost a single game in regulation time at the Centre Bell.

The habs have a record of 8-0-1, with the only loss occurring in a shootout against the Colorado Avalanche after an incredible comeback by the habs, who were behind 4-1.

And in those eight wins, four were obtained thanks to a comeback in the third period.

In short, the habs are really the kings of comebacks this season, and that’s even more so with the Centre Bell crowd, which is on fire and in playoff mode.

It’s like an extra player, as Lane Hutson so well said last night.


Overtime

– This could be a moment to remember.

– What a beautiful gesture from Gallagher!

– Don’t miss it starting at 12:30 PM.

– Bad news for the Capitals.

– It’s been 7 years since this tragedy occurred.
