Even so, the 31-year-old Sicamous, BC native remains wholeheartedly humble when it comes to discussing his personal accomplishments, preferring instead to focus on the Canadiens' group effort.
"We've just got to win games, so it doesn't matter if that's blocking a big shot to win the game or scoring a goal. It's got to be a consistent effort from everyone and doing what it takes every night. Everybody has got to chip in," explained Weber, who says his transition to Montreal has been made a lot easier with everyone being on the same page from the start. "Everybody's doing the right things consistently through the lineup, up and down. It's a team effort."
Weber, though, gave a ton of credit to goaltender Al Montoya on Wednesday night for coming up big when the Canadiens needed him most.
"We had a slow start, but [Al] Montoya played well for us," shared Weber, on the subject of Montoya's 26-save performance. "He was great in the first. We came on in the last five or six minutes of the period and played better after that. Obviously, he made some big saves at the end of the third period, and then we scored on the power play."
Needless to say, Montoya was pleased to see Weber put the Canadiens over the top in dramatic fashion with time running short in the final frame.
"Even when he's generous with it, it still hurts," cracked Montoya, referencing Weber's All-World slap shot, something he sees at practice on a daily basis and in pre-game warmups, of course. "I think it was a bit of a knuckle puck [on that shot], so we'll take those all day."
