Hockey players are an entirely different breed.  On Monday night, the Islanders were playing the Maple Leafs, when Islanders star Brock Nelson got whacked in the mouth by an opponent's stick.

He went down, but was able to get back on his feet and make it to the bench.  The hit loosened one of Brock's teeth, so instead of seeking medical attention, he YANKED IT OUT HIMSELF.

Then he handed it to a team trainer and stood up to get back on the ice.
