Tampa Bay Lightning captain, Vincent Lecavalier, will undergo athroscopic surgery to repair damage to his right wrist this Friday. In 2007, Vinny had a similar surgery on his left wrist to repair damage to the triangular fibro cartilage.
I think it’s safe to assume that this is a good time since there is ZERO chance that the Bolts will make the playoffs but it would have been nice for him to play in the games that are left. "Obviously it is disappointing that Vinny will not be able to finish the season, but we feel that it is in both his and the team’s best interest to have the wrist operated on now," Executive Vice President and General Manager Brian Lawton said. "Vinny has been battling this injury all season and I really can’t say enough about his ability to play through the pain and discomfort."
I hope that the surgery repairs all the damage and he can rest up and come back better than ever next season.
