Shea Weber lends Infoman his stick to help social distance properly

With great height comes great responsibility; just ask the tallest Hab on the team.

Last week Shea Weber was called upon during an episode of Radio-Canada's Infoman to help keep the series running smoothly during a global pandemic.

Social distancing measures designed to help reduce the spread of COVID-19 suggest staying six feet apart from other people - not as easy as it sounds when you're a man-on-the-street reporter.

Luckily for Infoman host Jean-René Dufort, in Canada's metric system, six feet translates to roughly the length of one hockey stick.

And Weber's twig of choice, a Bauer Supreme TotalONE NXG, measures in at the NHL maximum 63 inches.

Perfect for respecting government guidelines when extended at arm's length.

Watch the Canadiens captain pass along his makeshift mic perch to Dufort below, with a little help from equipment manager Pierre Gervais.

With a 122 flex, the borrowed hardware will be tough enough to withstand a lot of interviews before it gets donated to charity at season's end.
