St. Louis Blues defenseman Al MacInnis has a torn retina in his left eye for the second time in three years, an injury that could sideline him for the rest of the season.
The 40-year-old team captain had surgery on his left eye Friday after complaining of vision problems. During the three-hour procedure, the retina was reattached and the lens was removed.
He also underwent laser surgery on his right eye, which was found to have a slightly torn retina.
General manager Larry Pleau said the recovery period could be as short as a month or as long as four months. He also said risk factors for another reoccurrence would have to be weighed later.
``We're not saying his career is over or his career is not over,'' Pleau said. ``I'm trying to be very upstraight here. We're not saying that, we just felt the best way for us to operate this year was looking at Al not being back.'' |
