Montreal’s Weber: ‘No problem’ with being underdogs

It's no secret that the Penguins will be heavily favored to defeat Montreal in the best-of-five qualifying round that begins next Saturday in Toronto.

After all, they finished 15 points ahead of the Canadiens during the regular season that was suspended March 12 and have a lineup laced with players who have won multiple Stanley Cups.

No less an authority that Shea Weber, anchor of the Canadiens' defense corps, agrees that it's perfectly logical for his club to be an underdog in that series.

"I've got no problem with that," he told reporters after a scrimmage Saturday.
