Mete on Weber:
We didn’t really speak or anything,” Mete recalled. “He didn’t know who I was, but I knew who he was. It was a little bit weird.”
But that weirdness went away after Weber invited Mete to his house during training camp.
“He invited me over to his place for dinner one night because I was still at the hotel, and that was the first time I really got to talk to him and kind of be with him,” Mete recalled.
“He’s really funny,” Mete added, revealing a side of the
Canadiens captain fans and media rarely get to see from the man of few words in front of a microphone or cameras. “He’s always joking. Everybody who walks in (the locker room), he has something to say about them in a funny way. He just cares about all the guys. He’s always asking if guys are OK, how they’re doing. He really cares for them, especially younger guys like me and KK (Jesperi Kotkaniemi), seeing how we’re doing, just being here kind of thing.”
"The only advice he ever really gives to me is just skate and play your game,” Mete said. “Don’t change it for anything. If we need to adjust anything, we’ll do it between periods. … But so far, we haven’t had any disagreements about anything and it’s been pretty smooth, so I think it’s pretty good.”
