Dale Weise is finding out what it's like to be a Montreal Canadien when they're winning in the springtime.
Some were not happy when general manager Marc Bergevin sent defenseman Raphael Diaz to Vancouver Canucks for the little-known Weise on Feb. 3
Now the energetic fourth-line winger is becoming a playoff star.
