What Canadiens Goalie Jakub Dobes Just Did Has Never Been Seen Before in NHL History
Nothing seems to be able to stop Jakub Dobes and the Montreal Canadiens at the start of this season.
The young Czech goaltender has just accomplished something completely unprecedented in the history of the National Hockey League.
According to many sources, Jakub Dobes has become the first rookie in history to start two consecutive seasons with a perfect 5-0-0 record, all while still maintaining his rookie status.
That's a crazy statistic!
I think it's such an exceptional accomplishment that shows just how much his talent - and especially his consistency - are impressing everyone in Montreal.
Jakub Dobes Makes NHL History and Leads the Montreal Canadiens to New Heights
At only 24 years old, the goaltender from Ostrava continues to deliver, night after night!
Of course, last year he had already surprised the hockey world by winning his first five NHL starts.
And now, he's repeating the same feat this season, with a goals-against average of 1.77 and a save percentage of .940.
"There has never been a rookie who started two straight seasons with five perfect wins. It's never been seen before," reported Samuel Doiron.
In my opinion, since the start of the season under Martin St-Louis' leadership, the Canadiens have been playing inspired hockey.
The team currently sits atop the Atlantic Division - something we haven't seen in a very long time.
As for Dobes, he's playing like a veteran. He never panics, and his teammates feel it.
The season may just be getting started, but one thing is clear: Dobes is no longer just a pleasant surprise - he wants to become the number-one goaltender.
