Well at least we know with Chabby, he’s a tough SOB, DJ always said he’d never seen a player with such a high pain tolerance.I thought we've had guys wear full face shields. I guess the drowsy pain meds would make the most sense.
I guess they can't exactly put a needle to your face to freeze it and numb the pain.
It does make you give props to guys who don't miss any time when they have a busted up face. Those examples are always used to show how tough some hockey players are.
I like the videos where you see a soccer player not get touched and dive around and then you see a player block a shot with their face and and be covered in blood and saying "put my back out there coach!"
This happened to me where I got a a slap shot in the chinand just wanted to keep playing but the ref blew the whistle and kicked me off the ice because blood splatter covered my jersey and blood was running down my face and neck. One of those 11pm games where I didn't feel like spending all night at the hospital when I had work the next day...so for several days it just kept leaking blood down my neck. I remember several days later taking a shower and putting a white t shirt on and looking down and it was covered in blood. Lol
Makes me wonder how tough the guys who get a puck to the face and drop and cover their face on the ice for 30 seconds...like, get up. It's just a bloody cut. Covering your face on the ground is toddler behaviour lol.
I'm on a completely side topic rant, yes I know lol
I also took a high stick in an 11pm game, and was leaking everywhere, turned out went right through my cheek.
Got out of hospital with stitches inside and out, around 6am.
