Thanks to Katy Perry for that horrible headline, and for wanting to see my dick so badly.
Anyway, what appears to be a centipede crawling up a dude’s nose is actually the facial wound of Craig Peacock of the UK Elite Ice Hockey League, a 24-year-old Belfast Giants forward who dumped a guy over the boards and caught a skate blade in the lip. As we learned from a profusely bloody KHL defenseman who left most of his jugular on the ice, you should always be mindful of the other players’ feet, because they are attached to death and dismemberment.
I have a tendency to overstate the gruesomeness of injury photos, so I won’t get all hyperbolic about this one, but will warn you that the before stitches shot (included after the jump) is … pretty horrifying. It looks like somebody was trying to dig an irrigation ditch in his face. Viewer discretion is advised.
Now he’ll never be a teen model!
In all seriousness, yeah, that’s not good. There’s a chance I will cover my mouth and nose every time I see a hockey skate and/or scream “NO, MY FACE” and start thrashing around in terror. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to wrap myself in bubble tape and lie down in a bounce house.

This just made me realize that Bettman is a hero for banning these gangs of knife-booted thugs from tearing each other to shreds.
I’m gonna go ahead and assume that growing a beard IMMEDIATELY is now at the top of his list of priorities
Every babe that weeps at his approach, every woman that cries out “Dear God! What is that thing?” will echo in his perfect ears.
That is what “to the pain” means. It means I leave you in anguish, wallowing in freakish misery, forever.
Anybody want a peanut?
I don’t know if it’s a good or bad thing that I guessed which injury this was from the promo tweet.
That makes my balls ache.
That’s a nasty looking gash. But at least that’s all cosmetic.
