Let's send some love to Mats Zuccarello(ruptured testicle)

[ORRFForever]

Ouch! That made me cringe.

Ouch! That made me cringe.

Sister, this is what men have to deal with.

 

[Shark Finn]

"It actually survived" is a fine way of putting it.

 

[Raistlin]

You've conflated two different injuries. He was bitten by a snake, but not on the balls. His 'ruptured testicle' injury came in the playoffs and he didn't miss a game (nor actually ruptured a testicle).

Source: I have a google news alert set up for "Sami Salo's Testicles"

But I bet if I didn't conflate the two I would've never remembered it. Makes for a better story though. "Snake venom ruptured his balls and he didn't miss a game. Annnd that's what Vikings are made of, son."

 

[Azzuri]

I love Zucc, hate to see this happen to him. Heal up our Hobbit King.

Patrick Thoresen.

If I remember right that was the year they had the "That's how the Cup changes everything" advertisements...

 

[CashMash]

Just reading the thread title made me nauseous. Glad they both work still.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Ouch!!!

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Poor guy. He’s had some nasty injuries, remember his brain injury in the playoffs back in c. 2015

 

[Moose Head]

At least the Leafs don’t have to be concerned about such an injury.

 

[tfwnogf]

my balls hurt just thinking about it. Get well soon Mats testicle.

This was Matt Hendricks cup when he got hit "down there" with a slap shot a few years ago

Someone should get making some Kevlar reinforced, carbon fibre magic cups for multi-millionaires.

I seem to recall he went golfing in Finland and a snake bit him in the balls. I was quite young, I could be mistaken, but that is something hard to forget.

You learns something new every day.....

• Adder: The only venomous snake in Finland, adders can be found throughout the country, including Lapland. They are gray, gray-brown, or black, and can grow up to 90 cm long. Adders are known for their ability to hibernate during the winter. They are not aggressive, but will bite if they feel threatened or are cornered or, apparently, if you decide for some reason to dangle your testicles in front of their face.

Wow, that's nuts

This is wild

 

[guyzeur]

Imagine instead rupture of the anus muscle
Symptoms include: decreased ability to control bowel movements and accidental bowel leakage

 

[WatchfulElm]

Whether it qualifies as lower or upper body should reveal a lot about him. (Or about the room temperature)

 

[luiginb]

Between him and Ole-Kristian Tollefsen, Norway might be missing at least a pair.

That kid Detroit just drafted should wear two cups
