It's been a mystery for several weeks, even months now, about Shea Weber.
The Habs captain still hasn't spoken to reporters since the start of the season, and as Keven Mawn of Fanadiens.com reports, this situation is starting to annoy Chantal Machabée, the Habs' new VP of Communications, a lot.

On the La Dose podcast earlier this week, TVA Sports reporter Marc-André Perreault mentioned that people in the media have literally done everything they can to get news about Weber's situation with the Habs.
"I'm telling you right now, people who are listening to us, we did everything. I've talked to Chantal about the Shea Weber file. She's hearing about the Shea Weber file, and I think she's starting to have nightmares because there are demands, and she too would like Shea Weber to speak for a number of reasons, but what do you want me to tell you, we can't twist his arm."
Still recently, his absence on Sunday at the Bell Center during the tribute to Guy Lafleur has caused much talk and Perreault admits that he could have made an extra effort to honor the memory of the Blonde Demon.
Weber will be in Montreal this weekend for the end of season review and it is obvious that some journalists will try, for the last time this year, to get comments from the captain but on this subject, the journalist was quite cautious about Weber's intentions to meet the press.
He has no choice but to undergo his medical tests if he wants to continue receiving insurance money. Will he meet with the press? I don't know. As far as I'm concerned, nothing has changed on the legal side, so I don't hold out much hope on that."
It's kind of a shame to see a captain of a team as prestigious as the Habs act this way, and let's just say that this situation is certainly not very good for the organization's image. It will be interesting to see what Kent Hughes will do this summer with this hot potato.
