I’ve always maintained hockey players are the toughest of the four major sports in the United States, so much so they may be certifiable at times.
Matt Calvert of the Blue Jackets proved that last night against the New York Rangers when he took a puck to the face after going down to the ice to block a shot.
The end result was a lot of blood loss and 30 stitches to the mug which would probably put a bunch of people on their ass for days.
Only Matt Calvert later returned to the game which in and of itself is crazy. But that wasn’t all, he ended up scoring the game winning goal shorthanded, in more ways than one.
