Former #Sabres player Mike Weber retired today. He gave an outstanding press conference to the Swedish media at @frolunda_hc practice. He said he couldn't lift his two year old child because of knee damage, he needs a knee replacement. 1/

This was posted in the NHL thread, but it is worth a reply here.

Thank you, Mike.

 

You were a good soldier.  Not the most skilled, but you always gave it your all.

I agree NS he was never hesitant to block a shot or defend a team mate which can be a good barometer of him as a person too. Enjoy your retirement Mike.

Despite the negative vibe with ol Mike in these here parts, he always had a place in my heart.

I think the tides turned on Weber when he started getting put into a bigger role than he was ever made for

Yep. When he was thrust into top 4 minutes he crumbled. Much respect Mike.

Yeah. I liked Mike, he just sucked outside the bottom pair.

I know it’s entirely unfair, but all I can think about is him throwing his toys out of his stroller in the direction of the fans after that Arizona game.

 

He was obviously a hard worker, sorry to see he’s in such rough shape.

[North Buffalo]

Love his heart. Sorry to hear about his knees.

The most painful and shameful moment of the tank was the fans turning on Mike after the Arizona game.

The man bled blue and gold.

 

Enjoy your retirement Mike. You gave everything you had.

We need more of Mike Webers heart on this team. Best wishes to Weber.

As Liger said .. best wishes, Mike.
