This Saturday, a big night awaits the Montreal Canadiens, their fans and their former captain Shea Weber.
As the Habs host the Columbus Blue Jackets this evening, Weber will be honored on his return to the Bell Center, having recently been inducted into the Hall of Fame.
Around 4:30 p.m., the former Canadiens captain spoke to the media via a live video from the organization.
Several interesting questions were asked and we sense Weber’s excitement about his return to the Quebec metropolis.
Weber also mentioned that he went to dinner with Nick Suzuki and Josh Anderson last night.
He also specified that he mentioned to Suzuki (probably during this dinner) not to hesitate to contact him to discuss.
True words from a former captain.
Moreover, the journalist on the CH cover, Priyanta Emrith, published several interesting quotes on her X/Twitter page throughout the media availability.
Also during this press conference, Weber was asked a question concerning a photo with his likeness in the CH locker room.
The former star defender clarified that he did not see the photo in question, but that he was teased by some of his former teammates.
Shortly before this media availability, the Montreal Canadiens released a video of a plaque honoring Weber.
As Marc Dumont said, it’s difficult to accurately represent a player on a plaque like this, but don’t you think it looks like David Desharnais?
Personally, the resemblance is far too striking not to be noticed.
But we still see Weber’s features in this plate and we understand that it is him.
The coincidence is simply hilarious.
We should expect a big ovation from the former captain of Sainte-Flanelle this evening, even the main interested party expects to experience a lot of emotions this evening.
It will also be the return of Sean Monahan and Jordan Harris to the Bell Centre.
