Despite all the talk of him "getting old" and "slowing down", Montreal blueliner Shea Weber looks like anything but either of those things this season. As it stands right now, Weber is on pace for his best season ever, with 10 goals and 25 points in 31 games so far in 2019-20. At 34 years of age, he is now the record holder for the most 10 goal seasons among active defensemen in the NHL. Check it out:

Weber's recipe for goal-scoring isn't much of a secret. The guy can rip bombs from the blueline and does it pretty much every chance he gets. He once recorded a shot of 108.5 mph at the All-Star Skills Competition, just 0.3 mph behind the record held by Zdeno Chara. But in Tuesday night's game against Pittsburgh, Weber did something completely different, scoring his 10th goal of the season on a rare wrap-around attempt.

Asked to describe the goal following the game, Weber had this to say:
"Don't even know. Blacked out."
Asked if that was his first wrap-around goal, Weber had another great response.
"Since I played NHL 95, probably."
