Islanders Superstar Does Something a Soccer Player Would Never Think of Doing

When it comes to who's got the toughest athletes, I think we can agree there's no one tougher then hockey players, with all the crazy injuries players have played through.

One thing you'll never see in other sports is what happened to New York Islanders Brock Nelson. During the first period in the game vs the Toronto Maple Leafs, William Nylander would get his stick up into the grill of Nelson.

No penalty was called on the play and when Nelson got back to his bench he would give himself some dental work pulling his own tooth out.




Nylander didn't just whack out teeth tonight, he scored 2 goals and 2 assists to lead the Leafs to a 5-2 win.
