Weber helps Sharks to early 3-goal lead with disastrous start
Shea Weber is having a Game 7 to forget in San Jose.
The Nashville Predators captain was on the ice for both first-period goals, including Joe Pavelski's power-play marker, during which he was lying on the ice in front of goaltender Pekka Rinne as the Sharks captain sniped the puck home.
Weber was on the ice again for Joel Ward's breakaway goal nearly eight minutes later, and picked up an ill-advised interference penalty before the intermission.
Shea Weber is going to want to burn the film of this period. Absolutely terrible.

It didn't get any better in the second, as Weber became a minus-2 on the night after a brutal giveaway allowed Logan Couture to walk in and score his sixth goal of the series.

Hockey Twitter was understandably confused by the the five-time All-Star's poor play.
Might this be Shea Weber's worst game as an NHLer? Tough to watch.

It’s like Leslie Nielsen bumped off Shea Weber and then put on his gear and got out onto the ice.
