February was a productive month for the Montreal Canadiens. Fresh off
of inking contract-holdout P.K. Subban, the Habs went 9-2-3, and finished the
month first in the Eastern Conference. Despite having less days, February
didn’t lack for compelling stories, as the following stories made headlines:
Pacioretty’s emergency appendectomy and Wolverine-like recovery, Grabovski
"allegedly" biting Pacioretty during a blowout, Erik Cole being traded for
Michael Ryder and 3rd round draft pick, and the concussions of Brendan
Gallagher, Rene Bourque and Raphael Diaz.
With so many players responsible for the month’s successes, it’s difficult to
pinpoint which players contributed more significantly than others.
