Suck it, baseball players with your unwritten rules.
Suck it, basketball players with your load management.
Suck it, soccer players with your flopping.
Suck it, everybody else.
Hockey players are some of the toughest SOBs in the universe. Here's yet another example.
Brenden Lemieux of the New York Rangers blocks not one but two shots off his ankle and keeps playing!

I'm sure you'll tell me about some other person in another sport who kept playing through an injury but getting a hard rubber puck smacked off your body TWICE is something else.
This is why I always put hockey first in my list of favorite sports. These dudes don't take plays off. There's no load management BS. You get out there and do the damn thing!
