"Max has played with this problem for quite a while and we all agreed it was best for him to have the surgery at this time," Penguins general manager Ray Shero said. "Although he will miss training camp and the start of the season, the doctors expect him to make a complete recovery."

good job on the reporting front. Sorry that he will miss the first month of the season but better to take care of this problem and recover fullthan limp into post-season play
It something he probably could’ve played through but I can’t imagine how painful it would be. Like Shero said, best to get the surgery now.

And congrats to Frank who had this story 14-15 hours before Pittsburgh print media…Who in turn didn’t source or cite in any fashion why they even called the Penguins to ask them about Talbot’s shoulder.

Should hit around the end of July, early August if I’m not mistaken

If I remember correctly this is the same injury Brett Farve had that force him under the knife back in April or May. He is supposed to be ready for training camp which would put him at a recovery period a little over 3 months, any idea why Max is going to be longer?
Brodeur had it too, but I think it was a bicep tear. It just sounds more painful/serious.
They may take it easy on Max since he’s not a QB and the league doesn’t protect him from getting hit. Plus a labrum is the least of Favre’s problems. /bitter Jets fan

There are other ways to injure a shoulder besides playing a hockey game, of course. Helping a friend move, moving furniture, wrangling a dog, that kind of thing. Whatever injured it, I hope the surgery helps and he makes a full recovery. Thanks for getting this out there! Nicely done, Frank!
