BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) " Shea Weber didn't have to turn far to get the lowdown on Montreal upon learning he had been traded to the Canadiens. Once the shock wore off, Gorges told Weber what to expect in making the switch from relative anonymity in Music City to Montreal, one of the NHL's most passionate hockey markets. Gorges also knew that if anyone could handle the added attention, it was Weber, an 11-year NHL veteran and six-year captain of the Predators. Though both are elite NHL defensemen in their own regard, Weber and Subban are polar opposites in personality and styles of play. Shortly before Montreal's season-opening 4-1 win at Buffalo last week, Weber wasn't yet ready to assess the differences between Montreal and Nashville.
