The lockout is over, the season has begun, and it is already time for the fans
to voice their opinions about the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs went a
respectable 4-2-0 in the month of January, sandwiching a 4-game winning streak
between two losses to divisional rivals. Despite lacking P.K. Subban’s
presence on the blue-line, and missing last year’s top scorer, Max Pacioretty,
for 3 games, the Canadiens showed great cohesion. The players seem to have
bought into Michel Therrien’s system, and Montreal is benefiting from Marc
Bergevin’s off-season acquisitions, as well as the strong play from the two
rookies, Alex Galchenyuk and Brendan Gallagher.
We here at Habsworld are interested to hear what you think have been the best
players for Montreal thus far. We ask that you select a different player
for each drop-down box. Multiple votes will be discarded and voting will end on
