Shea Weber mega slump!

[Silky Johnson]

1 point in his last 8 games. Playing on a very good team that just scored 10 in a game....

In fact I like like Webber and think he is a top 10 d-man in this league, but I hope this stretch can kill the Norris narative until he actually deserves it!

+/- for Karlsson points on a Sens 10 goal explosion?

I've never heard of a player going on a slump before.

 

[LeafFever]

After the fantastic start his numbers are plummeting.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Rumor is he's playing injured (blocked a shot vs Detroit).

 

[HuGo Sham]

he's injured. playing solid defensively but he has limited mobility right now AND he's being keyed on during habs PP. AND habs other PP point guy is out two months.

sky isn't falling

 

[LeafsNation149]

1 point in 8 games for a defencemen? No way...

 

[Frank Drebin]

Perhaps Nashville fans can chime in, these slumps are typical for him, no? There was deserved Norris talks when he had 18 pts in 20 games, not so much today. Still maintain if he finishes with 20g 55pts hell be a finalist.

He did hit a crossbar the other night. Pretty quiet offensively though.

 

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

He wasn't as good as his hot start. I think it's fair to assume he's coming back down to Earth.

 

[Bileur]

Given his well established track record that start wasn't sustainable, whether or not it was an injury. No surprise/nothing to see here.

 

[ArGarBarGar]

That shouldn't matter, nobody is Detroit can shoot very hard.

 

[edguy]

Yeah he's coming back down to the defenceman he is I think. He is rock solid defensively, but not nearly as good offensively as his early numbers indicated.

Last time that happened for Karlsson was in his rookie year...1 point in 9 games. Funny thing is that he wasn't a media favorite for the Norris on a great team. Well at least Webber has a game to beat that low point...#justsaying

Of course, he was not going to get 75 points this season. He's still the best defensive player in the NHL.

Markov however is crazy good this season!!!

Is this a disguised "Karlsson for Norris" thread ?

 

[Inkling]

Nashville fans said to wait until the end of the season to evaluate him, after Habs fans were delirious after his strong start. He's probably not as good as he was early and not as ordinary as he has been recently.

What does Karlsson have to do with this thread?

 

[Paul4587]

All players slump. Weber wasn't going to hit 70 points, he's never been that good offensively. He should hit 15 goals and 50 points though if he's healthy.

That's twice you've mentioned karlsson in a Weber thread you've created. Weird.

To be fair it could also be a Hedman, Burns, Letang, Subban and Markov for Norris thread.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Hidding agenda is obvious. By the way, the term 'mega' in the title is very irrational. The dude is a defenseman for crying out loud and it's not like he's terrible in his own end.

 

[Vladys Gumption]

Karlsson doesn't have anything to do with Weber in this thread. Closed.
