In a month where Montreal posted a modest 5-4-2 record, the Canadiens kept their
meager playoff hopes alive. January’s Canadiens exemplified this season’s
lack of consistency, as their Jekyll and Hyde tendencies had them score 7 goals
on two occasions, while being shut out in two other games. As evidenced by
the subtraction of Mike Cammalleri and addition of Rene Bourque, the Canadiens
are striving for a new look, and time will only tell if it yields more
successful results.
Nevertheless, this team in transition has had a few bright spots, and Habsworld would
like to know which Canadiens brought a smile to your face in January.
As with past months, we ask that you select the three Canadiens you feel are
most deserving of the HW Stars honours. Multiple votes will be discarded
and all votes must be submitted prior to Feb 4th at midnight (EST). Players must have played a minimum of 4 games
this month to be eligible
for consideration.
