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.

But I’m going to guess you didn’t have a doctor with a briefcase full of Toradol injections in the dressing room, ready to shoot you up and clear you to go back out.

Chars had his jaw wired shut during the games after he broke it.

couldn'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).

The dude came back out and sat on the bench for the third period. You could tell he wanted to get back on the ice, too.
