Chara faces decision on surgery
via Boston Globe:
But in the second period against the Capitals, when Chara swung and missed on a one-timer, the captain felt pain deep within the shoulder, which hasn’t been right since.
“I felt my AC joint was a little loose and sore,” Chara said. “But when I missed that one-time shot, it really felt like there was damage in the shoulder. Ever since then, I was playing with it. It didn’t pop out, but it was a weird feeling. Just really sharp pain inside the shoulder.”
General manager Peter Chiarelli said yesterday he believes Chara will require surgery. Chara said he hopes to avoid it.
“That’s my first priority,” Chara said. “Nobody wants to have surgery. But I also have to be smart. There’s a fine line. You can avoid it, but running into the same problem next year, I don’t want to do that. We’re going to have to make a decision and see what’s in there.”
