Player Discussion Shea Weber Part II

[HockeyDBspecialist]

Can’t wait to see some bombs from the point again from him.

Been waiting 1 year for that

 

[THE HOFF]

Juulsen will be a core player and is a solid well rounded NHL player. Mete I would like to upgrade on in the future unless he somehow starts to create offense. I just don’t see it happening. We are very thin at LD so we have no choice but to play him.

Have faith in a 20 year old kid ! He's overwhelmed and I agree with you... With reasonable production he can be a good 2nd pair LD. No harm in waiting a little, his value is relatively low for a trade anyways.

Ya he hadn’t been struggling with injury and a delayed surgery before that. It’s far more likely that he forgot how to hickey.

 

[Habs Halifax]

Get Mete off the right side ffs

He’s helping Benn out by playing on the right side. Lol

 

[Habs Halifax]

Looks like Schlemko is being paired with Weber...

Schlemko - Weber
Kulak - Petry
Benn - Mete

Hope this helps Price get his GAA down. Will be interesting too see how the d pairings look when Juulsen comes back

We're still gonna be missing elite puck movement to get the puck out quicker.

The two big question marks for me regarding Weber's return are:

1. Will he be able to be good defensively/keep up with these young, fast, shifty forwards. My last image of him, on a bum Knee, was letting Austin Matthews walk in and roof one.

2. How many games will it take him to be back to form.

Then, it becomes a question of, assuming Juulsen can be solid, can Mete, Reilly, and Kulak all step up and fill out the left side. If so, that will give us the mobility we need. But, it's a big if.

Glad to have Weber back. Because 5 on 5 we are pretty good. It is the PK and PP that is killing us. He should help both. If he returns to form that is

How is his skating? Has he loss some speed or same as before?

Skating really well. Jumping up into the play quite a bit tonight

 

[Vachon23]

He's fantastic for a guy that didn't play in 1 year

Awesome homecoming for the Man Mountain.

 

[Non Player Canadiens]

i'm glad Weber's back. not because he's that good, but more because he takes a spot away from a complete plug. only 2 goals against tonight, which is nice

Can we waive schlemko next? He's a tire fire out there.

He had his best game as a Hab tonight.

He had his best game as a Hab tonight.

Which isn't saying much, he is complete trash. He had another shitty game tonight imo

 

[The Great Weal]

He's #6 not #8 btw

Same

Schlemko is? Could have fooled me.

 

[japhi]

Pretty classic game. Should have had a few points, always in position, blocked a shot that saved a goal on an empty net, was physical and was able to move the puck up ice fast. Once he gets that shot dialed in look out. I bet he puts up a bunch of points to finish the year. And voila Schlemko looks like an nhl’r.

 

[1909]

Weber had a great first game for a guy who had been injured after Game One last season.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

little rust here and there like that missed one timer, but he's gonna be such a nice addition.

Good to hear, he is our best player. Was worried over his mobility.

Get over it, Weber just is that good.

eh, if you say so. let's see what his impact is at the end of the season. i hope you're right.
