Attention, everybody. Something very hockey happened in a hockey game last night.
After taking a high stick in the mouth from teammate Kris Letang, Pittsburgh Penguins forward Pascal Dupuis went to the bench.
Dupuis then proceeded to nonchalantly rip out not one but two of his own teeth, turning himself into a human Jack-O-Lantern on the eve before Halloween.
He never missed a shift. Dupuis would later set up a go-ahead goal. Because of course he did.
“It was part of his bridge,” Crosby told reporters after Pittsburgh won the game 3-2. “I don’t think it hurt as much, but I know that I saw a steel rod in his tooth when it came out. That’s not something you see every day — kinda funny, kinda gross.”
Crosby was riding shotgun during the greatest self-dentistry moment since Cast Away.
“Hurry up,” Crosby said. “You’re grossing me out. Get rid of it.”
