Intent on proving that last season’s trip to the Eastern Conference
Finals was no fluke, the Montreal Canadiens bolted out of the gates.
With an 8-2-1 record in October, the Habs sat in first in the East and
second overall at the end of Halloween night. Their record is even
more impressive given that the Canadiens are seen by most as underachieving,
as they have yet to have their key players show up and excel on a regular
basis. Instead, Montreal has been relying on their depth, their
healthy bodies, and perhaps a little luck in winning 8 of their first 11
games.
Given that the majority of Montreal players have had unimpressive games
along with spectacular ones, it’s difficult to pinpoint which Canadiens are
most responsible for their winning ways. HabsWorld would like to know
what its readers think, and ask that you vote for whom you think deserve the
3 Stars honours for the month of October. Simply select the 3
individuals you feel were Montreal’s best players this month, and click
submit. Multiple entries will be discarded; please only vote once for
each player. Voting ends November 8th, 2014 at midnight EST.
