Predators & fans honour Weber in return to Nashville

The Predators honoured former captain Shea Weber in his return to Nashville as they take on the Canadiens.

[@uhRoid]

He was avoiding looking up cause he was fighting back those tears

[@Jon3sy3]

Fr

[@nelsondendomo6687]

@John Sabp its not awkard that they are paying tribute to him, its awkward that they filmed his reaction lol

[@oldsoul9578]

"Shea, you are my best friend in the whole world. And I love you."

[@Kevin-_.]

OldSoul legend

[@hattrick864]

OldSoul that gave me the chills

[@oldsoul9578]

salkdhfpoahergpoahre i would've broken down from that on the spot if i were him

[@TheSTURMGEWEHR44]

I almost lost it at that part. Go Habs Go!

[@lawsonryan3635]

That was my friends uncle who said that

[@PapaJenkinz]

man u can tell hes holding back tears

[@sabrinasalvo27]

I'm glad you guys let him go, and I'm glad he's a Hab. But, it can't be easy for him to go back there where he's played his career as Captain. It was nice to watch :)

[@niashill6230]

PapaJenkinz true that

[@Tbiblaine23]

Don't forget the fans chanting "thank you Weber" for about a minute after that

[@warrenbrie6374]

Tbiblaine23 yep

[@HPBqe]

he was trying to fight those tears back so hard. "Shea you are my best friend in the whole world and I love you" gave me chills and my eyes started to water a little.

[@gavinblack5950]

Never thought I'd see a big guy like Shea Weber get so emotional. Great tribute by the organization and fans of Nashville.

[@andrewmassa5318]

I can only imagine the same thing for Subban. Great tribute Nashville.

[@msanna4]

Andrew Massa dream on. mtl won't be as classy as the preds. mtl hated PK (jealous players on the Room including the jerks Therrien and Bergevin).

[@mohammadzamir8018]

msanna4 not exactly pk was a fan favourite, it was only our coach that didn't like him because he thought that his style of play was very risky, We should of traded Markov.

[@BrawndoQC]

What? Subban was a freaking legend in Montreal..

[@BrawndoQC]

msanna4 Molson is the new owner and Gauthier who made the Camarelli move is long gone. Bergevin now.. Coming from the Hawks and best dresser in the league.

[@matthewmcdowall5444]

Andrew Massa subban is a scumbag

[@amyfionna]

That was hard to watch. Poor guy. That broke my heart for him.

[@banger1099]

Even the toughest guys cry......Love Shea. -Hawks fan

[@Canadian693]

Nice of Nashville to do that! You could see that Weber was touched!

[@Lindeni]

1:21 That part gave me goosebumps. Shea is the greatest Nashville player of all time.

[@patbibo6139]

i think youre partly right i think hes is one of the greatest man in NHL history by is attitude, on and off the ice!

[@damonbigsby2901]

Stop

[@lowblack3004]

aww man he held on to those tears

[@wolverine1800]

Who watched after watching SUBBANS tribute

[@coyotesraptor1316]

Me

[@coyotesraptor1316]

u said i miss subban

[@charleybozo]

😂😂😂🙋🏻‍♂️🙋🏻‍♂️

[@byakunen]

Nashville cheered when he scored. What a nice state

[@ThePainLife]

They booed Radulov tho.

[@byakunen]

Sylvain Pitre Labreche Cause he plays dumb.

[@tuckerbatson3098]

Sylvain Pitre Labreche they have a good reason too. He ditched the team to go play in Russia.... twice.

[@genevestal9740]

Sylvain Pitre Labreche going out drinking the night before a playoff game will earn that, along with those defections to Russia still under contract here.

[@archvile1313]

Like Subban didn't ditch the team to get traded? You're missing the logic and I'm not saying it in a negative way.

[@jermboy911]

Classy player, great player, great captain

[@disguydough]

Weber looked so close to tears

[@synthvvavve191]

He was holding back those tears. Than there's P.K who couldn't help it.. Both Tributes were beautiful

[@TheXivu_Arath]

They meant the world to their fanbases.

[@TheXivu_Arath]

I’ve gotten to meet Shea Weber and he’s such a genuinely good guy. I absolutely feel this man deserves everything he’s earned up to this point.

[@bmess55]

I almost cried and I'm not even a Preds fan

[@jakestewart4777]

Bmess55 I did cry and I'm not a preds fan

[@FrequencyVibrations]

Jake Stewart I was at the game and I did cry

[@ThePainLife]

I was too focused on the game to cry, but it was emotional of course.

[@bullfish2466]

Do the preds even have fans?

[@DangerDavez]

They average over 17000 fans a night.

[@wittybanter96]

Stay Classy Webs. Thank you Weber

[@NationNat102]

You can see he's really trying to hold it together. That was an amazing moment for him.

[@ll_trashcat_ll2061]

MattaMatics101 I think you partially right there. But I also think Subban is an excellent player, so it can be said either way.

[@NationNat102]

Dr. Jäger Gaming Yeah of course.

[@AngryGaming17]

Man Im a Canucks fan but almost cried at 1:21. I love this game, what a tribute

[@Gwarismetal]

very classy nashville

[@tomspringall1]

doesnt matter who you are or how strong you are this sort of honour or tribute always hits you with the feels, no matter how much players or people fight back the emotions deep down your still feeling it.

[@baalbroo]

I'm so touched with the warm welcome to their former captain. Such a great hockey town, Nashville. I've been there in 1999!

[@matthewmartin7639]

This game...this game I don't mind losing. :') Thank you Shea. -A Preds fan.

[@wundawuman7476]

he is so genuine and from the heart on and off the ice ...what a fantastic addition to the habs franchise ...class act ...go habs go

[@shaverge]

Thank you Shea! we miss you big guy.

[@spacenoob10]

Man, 7 years ago, I miss him still. Thank you Shea for being my favorite! 💛💙

[@edmontonboy99]

As an Oilers fan, this actually brought tears to my eye.

[@h8stupidppl]

What a classy guy

[@minorfire979]

I was crying so much watching this video, i loved it

[@ll_trashcat_ll2061]

I was holding back tears. Yes, I was at the game. Thank you Weber 19##-2016

[@falzelite4215]

Washington capitals fan. Love to so classy tributes from all time fans for shea weber. My fav defence men ❤️ From frog lake Alberta T Birds.

[@BEAKER6868]

shea weber has been taken out of Nashville. but the Nashville clearly hasn't been taken out of him. no matter where you go, and who you play for, you'll always be loved in the music city!

[@PRYVTgomerPYLE]

Nashville is where Shea turned from a teenager, into a man... That is where he learned to be a pro, where he learned to work hard, where he learned to be a captain of an NHL team... Can't say I blame the guy for being a bit 'emo' during this one... :'D "What a beaute, eh bois?"

[@drake9675]

I was there and if you're a legit Preds fan and didn't get watery eyed just turn in your fan card right now

[@FrequencyVibrations]

Drake Smith I'm a Preds fan and I did tear up

[@neverstopmilk3873]

Drake Smith the predators fucked up weber>suban

[@benn3742]

never stopmilk lol 11 months later

[@crankybastid2197]

He was a beast in the 2021 Stanley cup playoffs for Montreal. 🙌🙌

[@matthewperis7418]

I graduated from eagle river secondary school in sicamous BC got to meet this guy too. waited at a hotel in Calgary for 3hrs in the cold to meet him getting off the bus. He sighed a lot for me to good guy look up to him a lot.

[@ryanjones664]

Really makes you question the trade, especially considering PK's following in MTL. Both of them have an outstanding track record with charity and community engagement. Couple of good ol' Canadian boys!

[@glowsuds]

Ryan Jones trade never should have happened!

[@wildwilie]

@@glowsuds After 2 more years, you think they still made the wrong move?

[@troopek2]

Was at the game. When Weber scored on us the fans cheered then booed as Radulov was announced on the assist.

[@FrequencyVibrations]

Kevin Troope ikr I was there as well

[@flymb3358]

Kinda funny how here in Helsinki they also used boo at him when he was still playing in the KHL

[@bichers]

Beautiful.

[@mtlhabsss]

See the class act by d. Poile the gm on the nashville predators . Applauding shea... did you see bergevin's reactions on pk s come back... day and night ladies and gentlemen

[@glowsuds]

Alfred Vega because MB is a fool and is ruining the Habs!

[@s4mcote]

@@glowsuds this comment didn’t age well

[@Nestashaw1597]

Awsome

[@erikhalvorseth3950]

Great to see one franchise respect another. Too much hatred in this world

[@metallovinsportslover2184]

As a die hard Preds fan I nearly cried when he was traded and I cried when I saw this haha

[@ThePainLife]

The feelings.. I hope I wont leave a tear when Subban will be honored.

[@sheacorduroy5565]

I really hope to god he someday returns.

[@llcoolwhip3372]

This, this right here is why I love hockey I'll be the first to say I'm still rather new to learning the ins-and-outs of the sport ( I know more about American football than I do any other sport) but this is something that is hardly ever seen at an NFL game unless we are talking about one of the best players at the time, and seeing such levels of gratitude from nearly everybody at the arena really says something about hockey fans in general On a final note, as a Preds fan from Wisconsin, expand the goddamn market for the games! I just don't wanna watch Wild and Blackhawk games, and the Preds are hardly ever on NBC/NBCSN. And that goes for every other team as well

[@ThePainLife]

Imagine the stand up ovation for the guy. Subban will have a nice tribute, I just hope that does not cost us the game. Wish you well Subban.

[@robertoautore9252]

Great man awesome capitan, !! GO HABS GO !!

[@alexdacruz2403]

My Canadiens are extremely lucky to have such leader and captain on my team. Weber is nothing but class

[@l_Live_In_Oregon]

I am a Red Wings fan, but this is what makes hockey great. Stick taps for you Shea!

[@silverlexxx]

Big man big heart

[@volcanope]

I wish he shed a few tears with a huge smile on his face, that would've sent a huge message. I mean we all know how much he loves nashville nonetheless, not saying that, but it would've been great.

[@bobbyrutts]

Looked like he was a little choked up..

[@volcanope]

bobbyrutz he definitely was, he held back the tears

[@OviLVR8]

If you are ever in Nashville during hockey season. Go to a game. Really fun stadium and fans.

[@coolguy2418]

Ive never seen anyone fight harder not to cry

[@dominicbelleyweb]

Shea said in the pre-game conference that to him it was just a regular game. We see in that footage that it was not the case. He barely could watch the screen. He was getting emotional and was trying to avoid that by not looking at the screen. Big boys don't cry :)

[@michael93DG]

It's okay big Man, you can cry ! Dont Mr to hold it back

[@unwept2k354]

I was there it was so sad

[@halouxy]

He was like c'mon man breathe, don't cry, breathe

[@noahevans2554]

I don’t know how he held those tears back like that

[@Everprod]

hockey players are the best people on the earth

[@alanconnelly3921]

This is why I love hockey

[@Heaveaway23]

shea weber must be part robot to not cry lol even i almost had a tear

[@BrickSquad1017613]

he said he was looking away just for that reason... no to cry lol

[@julienpost3376]

Fans chanted after "LETS BEAT WEBER"

[@SFascetta777]

Class act for a class act.

[@hzeekie1524]

moving video. 😭😭

[@mohamadchbeir1694]

Subban hit different

[@Bandit3035B]

To me always remembered as a predator

[@heshamrashid6861]

First NHL video I've seen on trending (#38 right now)

[@michael93DG]

Poor dude, holding back his tears. With all his might

[@michael93DG]

Poor guy, holding back his tears !

[@emmaduncan2991]

just a classy guy

[@madhouse2303]

Great player and person. Always hated him playing against the Hawks.

[@kidman2505]

Proper on all fronts.

[@DevinShillingtonSkateboarding]

as a MTL fan I vote we trade back.

[@glowsuds]

Devin Shillington agreed!

[@gregersen1926]

I have a feeling Montreal will boo Subban, this is coming from a Hand fan

[@PapaJenkinz]

they wont

[@UshTheGreat]

We will proudly boo our GM when he retires...

[@sabrinasalvo27]

I agree. They won't. But I also wouldn't give him a whole show, he does that all on his own lol

[@connorj6403]

GregersenGAINZ I am also a fan of hand

[@msanna4]

GregersenGAINZ yep I'm sure about that too.

[@AustinZhangyay]

hes trying not to cry or smile

[@dhosquet]

It's a good thing Subban was not there ... he would have found a way to steal the spotlight.

[@dghvdhfhhb6405]

dhosquet h So true

[@glowsuds]

dhosquet h shut up idiot

[@ben4215]

Weber gets a tribute while Suter gets booed at whenever he touches the puck. I just find that funny. Good tribute though.

[@grantbrugger1078]

here in philly if a trade like this happened we would just boo him

[@romromizta3006]

The big difference between PK and Webers return is the DG. Poile is cheering, Bergevin was not.

[@DrFred-rk2zq]

Weber wants to know.... why are people chopping so many onions

[@Philippe8876]

Buffalo's fan should've taken not that day, classy moment from the Preds.

[@adamhouse9503]

What's the song name?

[@Jon3sy3]

He’s trying not to look, bc he’s holding back tears

[@jacksonjung7841]

Shea Weber deserved more than that. He should've gone over to the Predators bench and give his former teammates hugs again one last time.

[@Kevin-_.]

Is he not even watching it lmao

[@kingoftrolls19]

Kevin Shields it's hard watching it, can't you tell he was getting emotional

[@DiscLuke120]

Great tribute but weber looks uncomfortable....

[@Etobeeshawn]

looked to me like he was fighting hard not to break down, hence why he could barely look up

[@canadianwifi2903]

Luke Border he's about to cry I think

[@genevestal9740]

FANoftheLEAFS_RAPTORS_JAYS he was indeed. Me on the other hand, just let the waterworks gush.

[@JMSxx]

Luke Border holding back tears

[@whitepaws60]

I still do not get why they made this trade and why The Canadians Accepted Weber is top top level defencemen but PK SUBBAN IS A SUPER STAR. Especially since it was a one for one deal PK For Weber. That's it

[@patrickdaley7346]

whitepaws60 Nashville had a hard time coming up with the money to pay Weber

[@whitepaws60]

Patrick Daley Their going to have a hard time paying PK when his contract is up plus I wouldn't be surprised if Weber lowered his contract because he likes Nashville

[@whitepaws60]

Patrick Daley Even then why would the Canadians trade PK if he's better and cheaper

[@KingCarb]

PK's contract isn't up for another 7 years. The stats at this point in the season would imply that PK is not better than Weber. In fact, Weber is doing far better than Subban. Montreal's place in the standings would also imply that they made the right choice

[@whitepaws60]

Shawn McGarrity but what if they had kept subban It just seems like a bad trade for Montreal to make doesn't it? Trading a great defence men for a great defence men who's cheaper and has a longer contract. Weber is going to want a hell of a lot next year

[@recorderboi2232]

He was the 2nd highest payed player in 2016 behind crybaby

[@flon57]

this and PK Subban leaky eyes😓😓😓

[@tml4437]

why is weber just ignoring the whole thing?

[@teaganbaker5757]

So, Poile shows thank to Weber, but Bergevin doesn't for Subban....hmm.

[@glowsuds]

the man cause MB is an idiot!

[@arniexanchez]

looks like he's regretting the trade lol

[@daisywllu]

Shea Weber trade is 99% Laviolette and 1% Poile! Where is the head coach..........?

[@andreprefontaine3824]

i think, nashville made a mistake by trading him.. for subban... i would have kept shea in nashville until the end.. hes a monster on defense.. is a leader.. big part of the community and super respected.. and still really good ... i would have traded other salary instead of him.. he was traded one for 1 for pk subban... point wise subban was better.. but all the other categories... went weber way... except contract lenght!! i think... in the final vs pits.. if it was weber.. instead of subban... woud have been different for you guys

[@hellvomit8341]

Way to take edge off of his game, haha

[@arsenuhl7]

first

[@damonbigsby2901]

Trasssshhhhhh
