Filler Friday: Salute to dudes who take hits to the face

Hockey players, for all the crazy ass puck bunnies that seem to be plaguing the collective existence of people who actually know the definition of "off-sides," aren't really known for their good looks. They're often missing teeth before the age of 20, and take pucks, fists, sticks, and panes of glass to the face. They're so used to this that they often get stitched up on the bench without even a swig of Canadian whiskey.

Oh yeah, the Kings won that game against the Canucks. Thanks in part to Matt Greene's face.


"Uh, Matt, there's blood coming out of your face."
"I know. Good game."
