Webering goes viral: Like Tebowing, only with more Shea Weber face smashing

On the left is Andrei Kostitsyn pretending to smash Shea Weber's face into the glass during Nashville Predators' practice, a scene captured by a Detroit News photographer. This was after Weber was fined, but not suspended, for grabbing the head of Detroit Red Wings forward Henrik Zetterberg and slamming it into the glass at the end of Game 1 of the Western Conference quarterfinal.

On the right … well, that's someone Webering himself at work.

Yes, this momentary lapse in reason for Shea Weber, in which he cracked the helmet of Zetterberg, has gone viral ahead of Game 2 between the Predators and Wings on Friday night. It's become a Twitter hashtag and made Reddit hockey. Fans from around the country are contributing photos like these ...

The play in question, as a refresher:

Meanwhile, fans are doing this ...

They're Webering young:

And they're Webering in ... Vancouver.

Just as the world had recovered from Tebowing.

We imagine this meme will sit well with Red Wings fans. Or make them Weber themselves thinking about it.
