Maybe Weber isn't hurt, maybe he's just old and is no longer good.
I always find it hilarious which players the media decides to apply the "he must be injured" narrative to. Maybe the 35 year old, aging D-man just sucks now because of age.
There is so much effort from the Habs media to defend Weber's tenure here, it's so gross. It's even grosser when you recall how low the threshold was to completely bash a player like Koivu, Price, Subban, Pacioretty, Markov.
Koivu came back from cancer and gave his heart out every damn shift. Dude played with garbage players, but hustled like I've never seen anyone hustle.
Pacioretty, Subban and Price led the team on it's most exciting playoff run since '93 and were leaders on the most successful habs club in almost 3 decades. Subban was a top defender in the league, Pacioretty has been one of the best scoring LW in the league, Price made this team look decent for years.
Weber manned one of the worst habs teams in history and has no memorable moments other than breaking Gallagher's hand 3 times.
Yet, the only person here that constantly gets defended by the media is Weber while the other 4 guys got f***ing trashed day in and day out.
It's so f***ing gross. I hate what MB has done to this club and the media. He's sucked all the life and joy out of hockey and turned the media into a bunch of f***ing sychophants. It really really sucks to be a habs fan.
