"Oh Jeez. Got A Face For Radio Right There" - Brady Tkachuk Might Not Get Many Modeling Gigs After Taking A Stick To The Face And Losing A Few Teeth
I'll tell you what, man. I absolutely LOVE what is going on in the NHL right now. It seems like every single night, these guys are all trying to one-up each other to see who the biggest warrior in the league is. The other week you had Tom Wilson skating around with a grapefruit on the side of his face after taking a puck up high.
The other night you had Zach Hyman skating around looking like he just got his nose replaced with Biz's after taking a shot to the face.
And then last night you had Brady Tkachuk ending up taking a stick to the face. The result is one ugly son of a bitch.
Down a tooth, and up a bunch of stitches. That's the kind of face that not even a mother could love. Brady is out there looking like Chunk from the Goonies. No offense or anything, but he looks horrific.
Good news for Brady, however, is that the way his face resembles road kill has absolutely nothing to do with his hockey abilities. So he stays in the game because he's a warrior, and ends up sending everybody home with this overtime dagger.
Greasy goal. Greasy celly. As classic of a Brady Tkachuk moment as you'll see out there on the ice. But after the game, he finally got a chance to see the damage for himself.
I mean do I even need to say it at this point? That high stick would have put every single player in the NBA out for at least 6-8 weeks. You'd have the rest of the league tweeting out prayers. They'd have a moment of silence before the next game. Brady Tkachuk gets stitched up between shifts, gets his ass back on the ice, and delivers the overtime game winner. He might be a really, really terrible looking person right now. But he wouldn't want it any other way.
