I was thinking the same thing. Now when they are down, they keep fighting back.

good Mornin' Nil

I remember the same thing where they were competitive enough to stay in the game... until the 3rd period came along and didn't have the Mojo to keep up, AND many times they were leading by a goal but couldn't defend it. FRUSTRATING TIMES!!!!! This season is proving the opposite. I think the addition of solid rookies and Kovy are the reason. Kovy is a respected player who can rally the troops even if he doesn't produce they way we think he can. But, last night he set up both goals in the 3rd so you gotta hand it to him... he's coming around and things could only get better. This team has leadership from several individuals, something that was missing in years past where Koivu was the only inspiration.

BTW Nil, my new address is marc@sykesinsurance.com Drop me a line... got some news on my love life...he! he!

Don't know if this helps, but the Habs are 4-2 when trailing after 2 periods.

Also, 10 of their 12 wins are by 1 goal.

..... does anyone know how many third period come-from-behind wins the Habs have this season? Must be five or six. I remember years when the Habs lost - or tied at best - every game that they were losing entering the third period.

they now have seven after last night, tied with one another team

Now, you say 4 wins, and Ray says 7. Who's right?

I think we both are. My stat is 4 wins and 2 losses when they are losing after two periods. Ray's probably takes into account being tied or ahead at the beginning of the third and then getting behind, only to win.

Clear as mud?

It sounded much better in my head.

Edit: Upon further review, Ray's post would be the one that actually answers the initial question. I'll just be quiet now.

Actually my original question was convoluted - I asked both things, so I'm not sure which one I really intended to ask! I guess what I really wanted to know was the one that YOU answered i.e. their record in games where they were losing after two. Thanks again.
