— Canadiens defenceman Shea Weber says he played over two months with a torn tendon in his left foot after being injured in Montreal’s season opener against the Buffalo Sabres. The hulking defenceman met with reporters for nearly 15 minutes Tuesday at the team’s practice facility in Brossard, Que. He had his left knee on a cushioned cart and his left foot in a walking boot that will remain for another six weeks. In good spirits under the circumstances, Weber said he suffered the tear that would prematurely end his season during the Oct. 5 opener, but it wasn’t immediately detected. It’s unfortunate that it ended up making it worse.”In his second season with Montreal, Weber managed to play in just 26 games, the lowest total of his career.
