Bergevin: Weber brings ‘business-like attitude’ to Canadiens

So far, so good for the Montreal Canadiens.

The club heads into Wednesday's game against Vancouver with a record of 8-0-1, and general manager Marc Bergevin gives a large share of the credit for the great start to an attitude adjustment spearheaded by Shea Weber.

"It's a more business-like attitude, it's more calm. A lot more calm," Bergevin said, according to Arpon Basu of NHL.com. "I'm sure it has a lot to do with Shea. If you look at him, I think he has that attitude like, 'You know what? It's just one game, let's move on to the next one.' That's his attitude."

That business-like, one-game-at-a-time perspective is what Bergevin believed the Canadiens needed following a tumultuous 2015-16, wherein Montreal started 9-0-0 only to fall out of the playoff picture altogether following an injury to Carey Price.

Price is back in MVP form, it seems, but it's Weber who's been leading the charge both offensively and defensively - and in other, unseen ways, Bergevin adds.

"What he brings, you obviously see it on the ice, but off the ice, in the room, everywhere, it's his attitude, his behavior, the little details that show he's a real leader.

"Everything that's been said about Shea Weber, it's really that, and even more."
