Maybe hockey gamers are the hardest athletes.
Islanders star Brock Nelson pulled his tooth out on the bench after being inadvertently hit within the mouth with a hockey stick Monday night time — and the scene was … wild!
It occurred throughout the Islanders-Maple Leafs recreation at Scotiabank Arena, Brock cleared the puck out of the defensive zone when Toronto star William Nylander‘s stick hit Nelson within the face.
The stick received Nelson fairly good … dropping the previous first-round decide and 10-year NFL veteran to the ice, and when he received again to his bench, he realized his tooth was hanging on for pricey life.
Instead of ready for his subsequent dentist workplace go to, Brock took issues into his personal arms — actually — pulling his tooth out and handing it to the staff’s coach.

The craziest half — Brock sprang up from his seat after the tooth removing and was able to get again within the recreation.
Different.
Obviously, most tooth extractions are finished in an workplace below the care of a dentist, utilizing native anesthesia. But, not Brock Nelson’s.
Despite the 31-year-old’s grit, the Islanders misplaced the sport to the Maple Leafs, 5-2.
