Weber has been BRUTAL!

Weber is coming off a fairly good game and is a good enough player that he will probably have a good year, but....

It was widely predicted he wouldn't be the same in the faster, smaller east without a mobile partner the quality of Josi to balance out his flaws. He's already not as good as he used to be, and this is not the same enviornment.

He's still a smart player, will easily win puck battles, and destroy everyone who goes near him, not to mention his slap shot is the best we have seen in a while. But good coaches will find ways to exploit him.

I agree, but someone needs to step up, and do something. Methot is running around like an idiot out there. Weber?

Cant have Weber wasting time with Methot. This is why you need a tougher 4th line, not the midgets we have. We better hope Neil doesnt get involved.

Bergevin build a defense in his image: slow, physical, truculence, character, unskilled. Exactly the opposite of where the NHL has been heading for over 10+ years.

Habs got absolutely mangandled that period. I thought Weber was supposed to be intimidating!?

I know we should not judge the team after only four periods of play, but nothing they have done has engendered any confidence. The D is slow and is being exposed by what this league has turned into, which is a young person's game dominated by speed.

It's gonna be a really long year for Markov. It felt like he was alone at the blueline the whole PP. For all the praise Weber gets, he seems pretty useless when it comes to moving the puck, cycle game and transitional plays.

So... Other teams won't touch our players because Weber demande rispekt.

Markov crushed. Captain doesn't do anything about it.

Weber is safer than Subban.

-Useless pinch at the end there. Brutal all period.

People should never have had the expectations that he is lile Chara. He doesn't fight except small fry like Roussel and a Chris Neil would beat him easy.

Lol. Best post all night. So true. Let's add Kevin and Derian Hatcher and Adam Foote and we're good to go.
