[NHLInjuryViz] Depuis 2000-2001, Montréal a mené la ligue 6 fois en matchs masculins perdus. Aucune autre équipe n’avait mené plus de deux fois.
Number of times leading the league for most MGL in the season (since 00/01, including 22/23; one tie in 05/06)

WTF
Either our conditioning team isn’t properly training our players to reduce injury risk, or our medical staff lets our players okay through injuries that get worse and then require longer healing periods. Perhaps a bit of both.
~~In any case, that’s concerning stuff, it’s wild that a team that’s been taking tons of LTIR contracts like the Coyotes isn’t in the lead more often than us.~~
It makes me reconsider a phrase that was being tossed around a couple years ago. I can particularly remember it being said of Luke Richardson that players would « run through a brick wall for him ».
Not sure this has any merit, but perhaps this organization does something for players that they are more willing to put their body on the line for the team. With a fan base so passionate, and a history so rich, players are more likely to give it their all and that lack of apprehension leads to more injuries.
I dunno, just a hypothesis.
Yay! We are the winners!!! Do we get a trophy?! Bout damn time we got to celebrate something!
Seriously, this is fucked up.
The seasons the Habs have led the league in injuries in the past 20+ years:
00/01
01/02
11/12
17/18
21/22
22/23
