As someone who's broke their jaw twice from pucks to the face, yours and Chara's had to be a hairline fracture. There's absolutely no way I could have played with a broken jaw. It was over 2 months of having my mouth wired shut ( liquid diet - lost 55 pounds) plus plate in my chin. It's still painful when I get a puck/stick to the cage over 15 years later.

- soperj 7y agocouldn't have been the same way as mine then, since you can't breath deeply at all with your mouth wired shut (i almost fainted while running after someone).
