Weber with the win in OT. Great comeback there. Hutton came up big when we needed him to in OT with that save and then the captain with his 2nd goal.

Our shootout record is better than the Devils'.
Zids kicks the puck off Wilson's stick straight to Weber for the GWG. Thanks, Marek.
Another win for Hutton. Ugly as hell for him in the late 2nd ... but a win with a couple of big saves when they counted ... ask Ryder.
I'll be the loudmouth screaming at our guys tomorrow night. Listen for the obscenities on the arena mics.
Looking at the replay, Zids kicked the puck away from Wilson, right on to Webers stick...

The problem is that he's looked good for one out of four months. Keith has a strong case for the Norris. The big strike against Karlsson is his +/- this season compared to his Norris season, but his goals and assists look good. Chara is held back by his assist number while putting up the goals and minutes. Hedman and Krug have outside shots with their current numbers.
For Shea to have a strong case requires him playing the rest of the season like he has in January ... good numbers in all situations (more ES goals and assists in Jan than Oct - Dec combined while still a major part of a top ten PP) and an improving +/- (only two winners with a minus rating since 1981-82, three since the last Leafs championship season, one of them Lidstrom in his final year).

You truly believe that??
Again, I just shake my head in disbelief at the level of criticism Weber gets on this board.
I will agree he isn't the favorite for the Norris at this point, but he has been damn good all season, and GREAT the past month.....
Yeah whatever. He has 25 points in 25 games. Leads all D in goals. If this is Weber good one out of four months I will take it the rest of his career here.

He was good ... not damn good ... in October through December. He picked up his game after Christmas. All of his early numbers were on the PP. Two ES goals in the first three months, one an empty netter .... less effective in three months than he was tonight alone. When he plays like he has throughout January ... and highlighted tonight ... he's elite. When he plays as he did Oct-Dec, he's vastly overpaid and underperforming with no logical basis for inclusion in Norris discussion. Being a fan favorite and face of our franchise does not mean he performed as needed or hoped all season long nor was his early play worthy of league award talk.

Fair or not, Weber will get a bump from the Olympics if he has a big tournament. As bad as the Preds have been this year, it could be the year he finally wins it.
