HW 3 Stars – December 2013




There weren

There weren’t a lot of differing opinions this month when our HabsWorld
readers voted for December’s 3 Stars.  In fact, with only a few exceptions,
the vast majority of ballots contained a combination of the following four
players.   These standout players from December are listed below.

1st Star Max Pacioretty 14 GP – 8 G –
1 A – 9 P – Minus 2

After taking home the second star last month, Pacioretty’s
goal-scoring prowess propelled him to the top spot in December.  He had
twice as many goals as any other Hab while his three game-winners
equalled the rest of the team combined.  After a sluggish start to the
year, Pacioretty has found his way alongside long-time linemate David
Desharnais, giving the Habs a legitimate scoring threat on a nightly
basis.

2nd Star Carey Price 11 GP – 7
W – 3 L – 1 OTL –  2.45 GAA – 0.916 SV%

Price earns a spot in our three stars for the third month in a
row this year.  Although his numbers were down a bit in December, he
kept piling up the wins, allowing the Habs to stay comfortably in a
playoff position.  He allowed one or fewer goals in four of his starts
and is most certainly in the mix to be named Canada’s starting goalie in
the Olympics

3rd Star David Desharnais 14 GP – 2
G – 9 A – 11 P – Minus 4

2013 has been a tale of two players when it comes to David Desharnais. 
The first recorded a solitary assist in his first 19 games, prompting
Montreal’s Major to suggest that he’d be better off playing in the
minors.  The second, and the version of Desharnais that we saw in
December, is a slick playmaker that hustles every shift to compensate
for his diminutive stature.  Desharnais led all Canadiens in
points, assists and powerplay points this month, while recording 3
multi-point games.  The sole criticism I can muster for "Davy" this
month is that his 48.4% in the face-off dot needs improvement.

HM P.K. Subban 14 GP – 2
G – 4 A – 6 P – Plus 1

It should come as a surprise to no one that Subban again made his way
onto the HW 3 Stars for the month.  Although his point totals
weren’t as impressive as in previous months, P.K. continued to display
the defensive prowess that earned him the James Norris Trophy last year. 
Subban especially shone in losses this month, as his creatively and
skills were often the sole reasons worth watching the Habs try to rally
from a deficit.
