sure, you read ecery single posts in these boards and can confirm, not a single one of them is saying that one way or another...
yup.
I guess I missed these posts then. Care to share just one example?

You have a problem with how his coach praised him?I did.
Mike Babcock singing praises of defenceman Shea Weber | The Star
''He’s as good a human being as I’ve ever been around. He doesn’t have to say much. He just has to look at you and you snap into shape. He cuts a big swath out there. He shoots it so hard, no one wants to stand in his way.''
There you go.
I don't have a ''problem'', I think it's funny BS.You have a problem with how his coach praised him?
I thought this whole "stare" thing came from some overenthusiastic fan on here, not from Babcock.I don't have a ''problem'', I think it's funny BS.
Nope...it came from Babcock, and it was then infinently used by fans here to argue how Weber was better than PK.I thought this whole "stare" thing came from some overenthusiastic fan on here, not from Babcock.
nope, you did not miss any, you read every single post in here and were able to claim nobody ever talked about, acted like, etc like 2nd round Weber is a god.I guess I missed these posts then. Care to share just one example?
To be fair though, regardless of the quality of the competition the fact he has been dominant after being out a year is impressive and shouldn't be dismissed easily because of who it was against.Weber's been dominant in his return ... against the bad teams. It remains to be seen how he'll do against good, fast teams.

The only thing I'll be impressed with is if he's highly effective against the good teams, when he's back in the flow. You're right, he won't be fully back right away. But how he is when he is fully back against the better teams is what will really define his value.
My oh my. Fedorov and Yzerman I are debatable but Zetterberg better than Lidstrom?! For real?Lol, Lidstrom is the mythical king. He earned the nickname the perfect human. He was elevated so far above his actual play level that people believe he was the best player on the Redwings, even though its factually untrue, from Fedorov, Yzerman, to Zetterbergs career year and to Datsyuk, he was never the best. Yet, people still claim he is and have him ranked as the best defender ever. Bad comparison. Another one that benefitted from that was Doughty.
Nieds also.
His best partner since becoming a hab? 20 or so games of Markov, followed by Emelin, then a mix of ahl players. And posters wait in the weeds till he has a bad game against a great team.Don't forget that his playing vs team beat line with a #6 defensman that was playing AHL a month ago ..

the guy's a god, the best "defender" in the league, so being very good is not enough, carrying his LD partner is expected.His best partner since becoming a hab? 20 or so games of Markov, followed by Emelin, then a mix of ahl players.

Anything less is a disappointment, it comes with his godlike status.
the impressive part though, is every single one of his ass kissing fans disappear when he has a great defensive game like yesterday, no comments!
Every other great defenseman had a good partner
Subban: Eklhom
Keith: Seabrook
Doughty: Muzzin
Hedman: Stralman
Jones: Murray
Karlsson: Methot was really good with him
Slavin: Pesce/Faulk
Suter: Dumba/Spurgeon
he'S not just great, he's the very best defender in the league... he's above all the names in that list...Every other great defenseman had a good partner

then comparing him to lesser (although good) D is pointless.I wouldn’t claim that but what if he is? Is you understanding of the game so base that you think that the best defender in the league never gets beat? Would you also expect the best goalie to never let in a soft one, the best goal scorer to score on every breakaway?
Seriously what it your angle? That some Habs fans think a Habs player is pretty awesome and now that he got beat we are all a bunch of fools? You have 25k post, can I suggest an investment in actually watching hockey and less raving on a hockey message board? You have a very bizarre understanding of the game.

not awesome, the very best, a notch above every single other D in the league.
sure, and may I suggest you don't act as if you knew better like you're doing right now ? forgot you're just a regular joe cause you're a fan of Weber I guess...
and you have a very bizarre understanding of the posts you quote.
I’m not following what your point is, but I do get that you really dislike Weber.
He can be the best defender and still be playing with a ****ty partner. He can be better then most guys in that list and still have the worst partner in that list. He can be one of the best defensemen in the game and still get walked.
You are one of the posters that is still so worked up about the trade that you see guys enjoying the player we got and somehow think people are calling him a god, or in love with his aura, or whatever. These are memes that YOU guys are perpetuating. The irony is you guys are projecting - the real over the top fan boy bs is for the guy that went the other way. I mean you are so ******** three years later that you get excited when Weber gets beat. THAT is fanatasicm, there is very little of that type of over the top love for Weber on these boards. Even the mention of him playing with a ****ty partner sends you into a rant.
Anyways seen enough of your spazz posts on these boards, no point going back and forth.
You know, you don't even need to wait to see Weber vs top competition.
Quite frankly every team has some good players and he faces them anyway. If Toronto has Matthews and Tavares and not both Weber would still likely match up against 1 of the 2 at ES anyway so comparing vs deep talented teams is at times irrelevant on an individual basis.
Besides, it's not like our players emerged as superstars playing weak competition. Weber looks better than every other D we have in the same game vs the same team. He's just miles ahead and it's a major improvement. He's bound to make mistakes eventually but everyone does...especially vs top competition. Ovechkin scores all the time, some players are just unstoppable. You can limit them but can't stop them.
