Wheeler ruptured his left or right nut or both from Morrissey’s slapshot still played through the pain full third period. What a trooper!

  1. Hockey players are just built different! I would have been crying on the floor had that been me… Wheeler is as tough as they come.

    As someone who has suffered through a few excruciating nut injuries, I don’t know how he played through that. His injury was 100x worse than mine but I was in a wheelchair for a week because I couldn’t walk with the pain. My respect for him grew infinitely.

    unpopular opinion: we shouldn’t celebrate this.

    one period of hockey isn’t worth the risk of exacerbating an injury that could not only affect an nhl career, but also a players’ quality of life in the future.

    wheeler’s a tank, and i’m glad he’s ok, but just sit out next time

    I’ve been hit in the nuts before.. It’s silence. You nearly stop moving, and almost feel sick to your stomach.

    Rarely is it some over the top reaction like you’ll see on tv/movies/online videos.

    Ouch
