Very few NHL teams can rival the Montreal Canadiens when it comes to making league history. Monday night saw Tomas Plekanec reach a special feat that not too many players get to by the end of their careers. It’s a blessing as a whole to be drafted or get the opportunity to see games in the NHL. But to play 1000 games is an incredible accomplishment.
The Habs honoured Plekanec for it during one of the TV timeouts Monday night. The fans at Bell Centre gave the 35-year-old a standing ovation for game number 1000 in his 15th career season in the NHL.
