Man these guys are tough. I want to see what some of the other NHL players have. I want an x-ray of Terry Sawchuk. |

Plus the cards tell you where it's located so they use the metal wand on that to make sure. |

That's because he's a giant punching bag. Fedoruk has to be the worst fighter in the NHL hands down. I think his first mistake was being named "Todd." |

Someone took a picture of Terry Sawchuk and highlited all of the scars. It was alarming, to say the least. If I can find it, I will post it. I remember them saying that former Sabres defenseman Doug Barrie's face resembled a road map. |

Skyline_BNR34 wrote: He obviously played in the days before a mask. His crouching "gorilla" stance kept him low to the ice positionally, which led to a host of face-to-face encounters with the puck. Playing his first 12 seasons without a mask, Sawchuk accumulated a patchwork of more than 400 stitches on his face and head (including three on his right eyeball). Other debilitating injuries included broken bones, concussions, a spinal condition called lordosis – which is an abnormal forward curvature in the lumbar region – and a shoulder injury that prevented him from lifting his right arm above chest-level. Any of those injuries singularly could force an average player into early retirement, but Sawchuk played on.
