Hank 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2007 (edited) 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. Edited April 30, 2007 by Hank Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. esteef Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
edicius 3,269 Report post Posted April 30, 2007 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.

Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted April 30, 2007 This comes as no suprise. Anyone who puts on a Nashville jersey all of a sudden becomes a dirty cheap shot.
