Tribute Shea Weber: Gone to Vegas

[Zam Boni]

Thank you Shea!
Hated the trade but truly respect the player and man.
Happy retirement!

 

[Mandala]

Thanks for your time here. The team felt united when you were there. Time to take care of your injuries and prepare for your future career.

 

[BLONG7]

Best of luck in retirement Big Shea!!

I presume he gets taxed at the Nevada rate now?

 

[Harry Kakalovich]

Shea Weber was a gem of a player. Best of luck to him moving forward.

 

[Saundies]

Perfect captain figure. Probably the best captain we've had since Koivu.

It's a shame he couldn't go out on his own terms, but he literally gave us everything he had left in the tank hockey wise and I'll always remember that.

 

[Michelangelo]

Hated the trade at the time, but gotta respect the man and what he was able to give us

I think Gionta did more. Team had cliques but they united under him.

[BaseballCoach]

My take too. Hated the trade, thought Fabro should’ve been included at the time. But over time (watching him every game) came to appreciate what a unique and great player he is.

Still should’ve gotten a sweetener MB.

For a guy who had 6 years left at $9M and only played 3 good ones?

 

[Theosis]

"Pulling on that legendary jersey" --is that a typo?

 

[BenchBrawl]

Thank you, Mr. Weber.

A great leader and captain, whom I wish spent his entire career with Montreal.

Good reddens to what I would call an invisible captain , rarely seen the guy !! Wouldn't hang the jersey for sure many others had more success including cup wins

 

[Walrus26]

Most people don't fancy even walking on a blown ankle., let alone eating the toughest minutes all the way to the SCF on the back end of a mediocre lineup and showing a few "superstars" how big boy hockey is played along the way.

Thanks Shea, all the best.

Thanks for everything Man Mountain. Makes me sad we couldnt get it done last year. Great Captain. Great player.

Are there really talks of hanging his jersey in the rafters?
Oh boy!!!!

#6 jersey is ready for Guhle !

Best Habs Captain since Gainey for me.

 

[webersshot]

Very sad we couldn't get it done last year. Still hurts. What a cinderella run. Thank you Shea. Please, please come back and coach the Defence.

 

[Chili]

He didn't play long enough with the Habs to consider a jersey retirement. But the #6 should have been retired long ago for Toe Blake.

Shea Weber is one of the best shutdown dmen I have seen play, going back to someone like Jacques Laperrière. And that incredible shot. Really enjoyed watching him play. Wouldn't be surprised to see him back in the game at some level someday.

it's gonna be a gamble.

could be worse, we could be stuck with PK and having to put up with his cringe every night.
