I cringe everytime I see Weber loading up for a shot because it will inevitably miss the net wide and come out the zone on the other side. He kills so much offense that way.

I felt like I was watching a different game than the CBC talking heads. They were praising Weber's physical play but he kept throwing insane borderline charges that didn't connect. He was like 5cm from a lengthy suspension on a couple. He was flat out awful last night.

It was a really good Jack Johnson impression, if a weird time for one

I liked Weber's attempts at big hits because otherwise the Habs were letting Tampa run around wherever they wanted with only stick-checks to contend with (which never worked and never bounced their way) and it made some of the Bolts forwards actually have to think about something other than the puck. Also gave the crowd something to cheer for when the Habs were otherwise looking like sloppy drunks with their passes and possession.

But he needs to never shoot the puck again, or start aiming for rebounds or something.

This is good, particularly how he abandons the interview to celebrate.

By all means put some money on it then, you can probably still get like 15 to 1.

It was amazing how much their powerplay improved when he was hurt this and they stopped trying to rip clappers from the point.

Watching weber blast a possession high and wide off the glass is pretty good but I'm partial to him standing completely still in the neutral zone as the play blows by him in the wrong direction.

After hearing that the league would have asked Montreal to forfeit the end of the Vegas series if covid broke out, I think Tampa should forfeit the games they can't manage to present because of the tropical storm/hurricane. This is absolutely influenced by my desire to have even more chaos in this season and forever have asterisks everywhere.

Chiarot and Edmundson were also going out of the way to throw big hits. I'm not sure Chiarot did anything else.

Better they do that than to bat the puck into their own net, or turn the puck over without looking and give up a goal.
