The Montreal Canadiens made a surprising run to the Stanley Cup Final this season.
A couple of their key veteran players, Shea Weber and Carey Price, were often written off by fans and many thought the pair were too old and washed up to ever earn their large contracts.
Both players showed this spring that they had enough left in the tank to take the Canadiens on a long playoff run.
Unfortunately, it took a huge toll. It was announced earlier this week that Weber is battling several injuries and is likely going to miss the entire 2021-22 season.
