Montreal Canadiens: Top 5 Shea Weber Goals as a Canadien
#4 Defenseman turns forward
Weber is not known for being a quick skater or overly deceptive with the puck, so it is very rare to see the 6’4 229 pound defenseman score on a wraparound. In a game against Pittsburgh, Weber blows by an unsuspecting Penguins’ defenseman and fakes as though he is going to throw a backhand on goal. Instead, Weber swiftly glides around the outside of the net and tucks the puck into the far side, leaving Penguins’ goaltender Tristan Jarry with no chance. It is very rare to see such finesse from Weber, which makes this goal that much more spectacular.
#3 Eye-hand on point for the captain
Two tries for the big man. Here we take a look at another power play goal from Weber. After having his first shot attempt blocked, Weber has the puck fly up in the air and land directly in his wheel house, giving him another chance to unleash his lethal slapshot. In one fluent motion, Weber picks the bouncing puck cleanly as soon as it hits the ice and blows it by the unexpecting Kings’ goaltender for his 100th power play goal in the NHL. Pretty impressive stuff.
