Okay, can we stop having athletes suffer horrific injuries this year?

Hockey players are different. MN Twins catcher Mitch Garver once took a foul tip ball to his balls and basically had to have emergency surgery.

This is why hockey players are tough and all other athletes are bitch ass crybabies.

Adrenaline is one hell of a painkiller.

I know it's not comparable, but I once finished a cross-country ski race where I fell halfway through and my nose started to bleed. I did not feel the pain at all, I only noticed at some point that there was blood on my skies lol.

Hockey players are savages. I forget the exact details but I think it was Rich Peverley who had a stroke and in the ambulance, he asked EMT if they could take him back so he could get back in the game.

As a man with one nut.. this gag never stops amongst friends.

Me: "Man that almost hit me right in the nuts!"
Friend: "Don't you mean in the NUT?"

Haha yes thank you for reminding me that I had cancer. Good times.

(Seriously though, I use comedy / make fun of myself as a coping method and it got me through without too much despair)

Nope, it was just over 3 weeks ago. He finished the game, had surgery the next day and was told it would be 4 weeks of injury time. Came back last night, a week ahead of schedule. Edit*****and I just got the joke. Stupid me.

Eh. Buck Shelford tore his open in the first half of a rugby test. Finished (and won) the game.
/Hockey guys are tough. Rugby players are right there with them.

I knew a friend of a friend in high school who's second testicle didn't descend and all of his friends used to refer to him as 'Uni' and he would answer when people called him that. I can only imagine what kind of repressed trauma that caused.
