Surprise! Nashville player ejected at Worlds.

[esteef 2,679]

"Shea Weber, a Nashville Predators defenseman, was ejected 1:19 into Saturday's game after elbowing Seidenberg in the chin. Weber received a five-minute major and a game misconduct. He will miss the rest of Canada's preliminary round matches, against Norway and Slovakia, plus its first qualifying round game."

He probably didn't "intend" to do it though.

Dirtiest hit I've seen in a while.

I know that people aren't too high on the Preds these days but Shea Weber is not a dirty player. The dude played 79 games this year and amassed only 60 PIM's. Not exactly Bryan Marchment.

And if you watch that hit in real time, you could tell that his elbow came out from reflex, in a desperation move, after Seidenberg deked to the side - very similar to Kyle McLaren's hit on Richard Zenik from a few years back.

There are a lot of Preds that deserve the 'dirty' label but Weber isn't one of them. He's a hardnosed player that plays it clean. This is only one kneejerk-reaction that I'm sure he wished he could take back.

I can just see Trotz in the stands (in his best 1930's gangsta voice) "mehh....see, I tought him well, meh.."

[Wings_Dynasty 267]

UWE KRUPP IS GERMANY'S COACH!?!?

[cincywingfan 1]

wow...why didn't he just do everyone a favor and go golfing with the rest of the Preds.

First time or not, if you're not going to get a guy, hook him around the waist with your stick, don't bring the elbow up to the head. It looked pretty damned deliberate to me.

After the first round of the playoffs, the rest of the NHL saw what we had seen all season.

Now, after the Preds have been eliminated, the whole WORLD can see what we had seen all season.

That said, Shea Weber isn't one of the inherently dirty ones on Nashville, so I'm a little surprised at his conduct.

[rick zombo 3,739]

Goonery.

What friggin GM picked Weber for team Canada anyway?

Whoever it is, the guy should be fired

He may not be a dirty player but sorry, putting your elbow out like that is not a reflex. It's an intentional act that any NHL player should know better than to do.

That was a clothesline.

Horrible dirty hit.

and it's pretty entertaining to read the comments from all the Preds apologists on Youtube.

EDIT: actually after watching it a few times, I'd call it a flying elbow instead of a clothesline. Still a very dirty hit, very intentional, and completely inexcusable.

That was lousy to watch. What an elbow. I'm in awe of that shot, lemme tell ya. Brutal.

Hank is right, Weber isn't a dirty guy, but this was just baaaaad planning, Shea. Holy moly.

[wingsfan75 2]

That hit was SICK! The guy must've tried to get up three or four times after the hit and just kept falling to the ice. Yikes!!!!

I just watched the clip myself.

OW.

That was deliberate, no question about it. Little bastards on the Preds are rubbing off on Weber in a really bad way.

Holy s***, they can't even try and blame the other player (a la Cheechoo from Hartnell) on that one. What's more is that this is yet another player, not a repeat offender like Hartnell, Nichol, Tootoo, Radulov, etc. How can anyone not hate that team?

Sharks fans and Wings fans are beginning to hate each other. But we have one thing in common, the goonery of the Trashville Predators. Funny and poinant.

That hit looked alot like the one Frazen took this year does anyone know who hit Frazen like that ?

Willie Mitchell hit Franzen; it was a late hit, but all shoulder. This is insanity. The mother of all elbows.

Bring back the enforcers and crap like this will stop

I can hear my good buddy Terry Crisp and his buddy Bubba in the booth.

"Boy I hope Webers elbow is okay that other player ran into it. No way should Weber be penalized"

[Kp-Wings 3]

This comes as no suprise. Anyone who puts on a Nashville jersey all of a sudden becomes a dirty cheap shot. It used to be that way with Philly, but Nashville definitly takes the cake now.

Weber is such a jackass. I hope he's gone for the entire tournament.

radulov isnt a repeat offender, it just happened to be your team experienced one of his dirty plays.
