Daniel Winnik of the Washington Capitals very well may get my vote for badass of the week after losing part of his ear last night blocking a shot against the Florida Panthers.
Daniel Winnik took a scary puck to the head. #CapitalsTalk https://t.co/xSooWVOz9K

Having the balls to go down and block a shot is one thing, getting hit in the head is another then losing a piece of your ear? Or how about the simple fact the guy came back and played afterward.
Yeah hockey players in general may be certifiable. My god…
Barry Trotz said Daniel Winnik lost a little piece of his ear when the puck hit him in the head. Seriously.
