he Montreal Canadiens will be skating on thin ice during the 2018-19 NHL season as it was announced yesterday that Shea Weber will miss 5-6 months after undergoing knee surgery.
Habs fans took to Twitter to voice their reactions, some humorous, some angry, in response to being without their All-Star defenceman until December.
GM logic – Let’s swap superstar defencemen: I want the older one that due to his advanced age will be more injury prone and play less seasons. #logic #nhl #montrealcanadiens #pksubban #sheaweber pic.twitter.com/33BZTtYdrb

Good thing Marc Bergevin traded a young superstar for that older D who was on hard mins each game. Who woulda thunk, that 3 years after the trade he hasn’t played a single full season. But hey 7 years left on the deal, lots of time to make up for it right? #Habs #sheaweber

Est-ce qu’on a gardé la facture pour la garantie? #SheaWeber #CH

@GMolsonCHC the damage that Bergevin has done to the #habs is unprecedented, which is saying a lot given Houle, Gainey, Gauthier eras. #firebergevin #GoHabsGo #Weber #Montreal #MTL #sheaweber #NHL #CH #GHG #Canadiens

After hearing about #SheaWeber going down for 6 months it’s nice to hear some good news. https://t.co/SVLBJpti1M

And the thin times for the Habs get thinner. #SheaWeber

He did not do both of those…however he did sign both to two ridiculous contracts, that both players do not deserve. (Injury prone) @CP0031 is not worth 10.5mil/yr (with a no trade clause)…and #sheaweber is not worth 7.8mil/yr…we need healthy producers!

“I’d lose the carburetor all together and add 4 extra fan belts.” – Marc Bergevin as an auto mechanic. #Habs #SheaWeber #Montreal #Bergy #MarcBergevin #GeoffMolson

This is what happens when a hapless #Bergevin trades the young superstar @PKSubban1 #PKSubban from @CanadiensMTL and acquire an old veteran past his “best before” date #SheaWeber @predsbuzztap

Tough defensemen break down way more easily than the silky smooth puck moving defensemen. Your shutdown defenseman turns 28, trade them! Nashville looking like a NASA scientists over here. They got PK Subban for free. #sheaweber #brokenweber

*Marc Bergevin sees a broken down antique table on the side of the road: “can you play defence at all?”
*trades #koktaniemi for it. Gives it 10-year deal. #sheaweber #bergevin #Habs
