Hockey players are damn tough. It doesn’t matter what happens to them, they always seem to spring back up. Jay Rosehill wasn’t an exception to this rule when he took a slapshot to the face during an EIHL game.

Wow, he barely even reacts to the puck. Falls for a second and skates off. He throws almost everything off in the process, but still one tough guy. It may not look gruesome there, but the aftermath of it is a totally different story.

According to Rosehill, he only lost three teeth on the play. I am always surprised how players shake these injuries off. I think I would be in the hospital for a week. Then again, that is why I am behind a keyboard writing this article.
