Bonne lecture sur l’ancien capitaine. Je conviens qu’il n’a jamais eu la reconnaissance qu’il méritait, jouant à Nashville, et a souvent dit à cette époque que si Weber jouait au Canada, personne ne se soucierait de Dion Phaneuf. J’étais ravi quand on l’a ajouté à notre équipe, même si cela s’est fait au détriment de Subban que j’aimais aussi chez les Canadiens.

I am admittedly biased because he is probably my all-time favourite player, but I also agree he didn’t get the recognition he deserved, and I’m glad some people, at least, acknowledge that. I remember watching games where he was the only defenseman in his zone, just circling Carey like an absolute menace and demolishing anyone who got anywhere close.
His energy was so good, too. Everyone walked a little straighter when he showed up. It was honestly impressive to see the shift in other players’ carriage and body language.
