Who Are Your 3 Stars for December?

December was a tough month for the Montreal Canadiens, as they played 10 out
of 15 games on the road, including 7 consecutive games away from the Bell
Centre.  Perhaps as a result, the Canadiens turned out a 6-8-1 record, good
for 13 points, as they finally conceded their divisional lead to the Boston
Bruins.  December was also a busy month for GM Pierre Gauthier; James
Wisniewski was acquired from the New York Islanders to bolster Montreal’s
blue-line, and Maxim Lapierre was shipped to Anaheim after requesting a trade. 
Other highlights included P.K. Subban being made a healthy scratch on multiple
occasions, Dustin Boyd clearing waivers and going down to the AHL and Scott
Gomez returning from a lower body injury.  Finally, after tearing up the AHL, Max Pacioretty was called up from Hamilton
and instantly injected some physicality and scoring ability to Montreal’s top-6.

Although the many storylines may have garnered the most attention during the
month of December, we here at Habsworld want to know what personal performances
stood out for you (in a good way).  In a month where Montreal domination
and good luck were in short-supply, your votes should paint an interesting
picture.  Select the players most deserving of star-honours from the
drop-down menus and click <Submit Your Vote>.  Duplicate answers will be
discarded and multiple entries will not be accepted.  Only current players
that participated in at least 5 games with Montreal are eligible for votes.  Voting ends on
January 5th, 2011 at 23:59 EST.  The results will be posted on January 7th,
2011.
