"...he gives you that death stare, and he doesn’t have to say anything. I think it’s sort of the strength of the group, not just [Weber]. But [Weber] is a good role model for that. He’s the strong, silent type, and then when he blows a gasket everybody takes cover."

I like this fight so much more than Lilja’s…he tugged at Superman’s cape and got what was coming to him. Kesler was just being a general douche and Superman squashed that sh#t reeeeeeal quick.

Is it ok to post GIFs of guys getting brain injuries? Not that it isn’t awesome…

The best defense is a good defense.

I'm fairly certain...

Lilja has no recollection of that incident. Especially since the last time the Ducks where here, he chirped at Shea a little bit…

Dude, just go back to your bench and don’t get killed.

Sometimes, when people receive brain injuries, their short-term memory essentially gets dumped and the memories of the past little bit (30 seconds-ish),never make it to long-term…so they won’t have any recollection of the incident. That’s more common when people get in severe car accidents, or have a major concussion involving instant and prolonged unconsciousness, but still. He may not remember it…heh.

The best defense is a good defense.

Lilja has been quoted

that he didn’t remeber a thing about that night. All he remembered was getting off the plane…lol

Wow…worse than I thought. Poor guy, but did he ever ask for that beating…

The best defense is a good defense.

I hope Weber makes all the Blues cry as much as the medical staff made TJ Oshie cry in the game against the blackhawks…. ya thats right, I left blackhawks with a lower case b cause I have no respect for them or their fans

I'm sent here by the chosen one

I think...

That when people say Weber isn’t as good as Suter, they aren’t considering how Suter would play without Weber.

Let’s face it. We don’t have a third top line defenseman. Weber was trying to hard to cover for his defense partner that he put himself in bad positions. I believe that Suter would have some trouble if Weber went out. His struggles might be a little less than Weber’s simply because of his cool head on the ice, leaving him less likely to freak out to try to cover for his partner.
