A few weeks ago, Shea Weber had the honor of having his name inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.
Few players can have as much of an impact on a National Hockey League organization as the captain of the Canadiens. Shea Weberhad during his great career.
When he retired, journalists withdrew VAT Sports Anthony Martineau And Nicolas Cloutier had presented their best memories of the Habs defender in the show JIC.
To understand Shea Weber is to go back to the beginning of his first season at CH. He was undermined in the summer because he was linked to the departure of favorite PK Subban. But here he comes with a team that had missed the playoffs and he transforms it. With his aura. With his “we mean business” attitude, with his manly style.

Notice how Weber brought about a culture change within this team. Immediately upon his arrival, the Canadian broke records for the best start to a season in their history. Let’s just say times have changed.
The team started the year with a 13-1-1 record. Weber had 12 points and a +17 differential. Why do I remember this? Because the current CH that started the year is a team without soul, a team that is easy to play against. This is the same team we saw before Weber arrived in Montreal.
Nicolas Cloutier
Weber will have had a significant impact on the hearts of Sainte-Flannelle fans during the 2021 playoffs, when the team reached the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 1993.
I don’t know if it’s related to the lack of sleep with a toddler at home, but I was really touched when I watched the highlights of Game 4 of the final series between Montreal and Tampa Bay. Shea Weber delivered one of the most inspiring performances I’ve ever seen. He was like a lion and we now know that he played that game with a huge financial burden on his body. +1 difference, 31 appearances, five blocked shots, but above all his two powerful hits on Brayden Point. Wow! He completely cast doubt on the entire Lightning bench. That’s when I said to myself that we were really lucky to have this guy in Montreal. Despite a few breaks, he was always a great enthusiast.
Anthony Martineau
Even though Weber is no longer on the team, the team still maintains his leadership and professionalism as a role model. In this way, Weber should have left a legacy to this team.
Weber has been a fixture in Montreal’s imagination since he arrived in La Belle Province. There aren’t many defensemen like him in hockey. Having him in the Canadian’s entourage was a real opportunity.
In 1,038 career games for the Nashville Predators and the Canadiens, he collected 589 points, including 224 goals.
