Brady Tkachuk made his feelings known after taking a brutal stick to the face during a 3-2 overtime win against the Calgary Flames. The Ottawa Senators captain needed nine stitches and lost a tooth but still scored the game-winning goal.

Despite the pain, Tkachuk kept his humor, saying he was glad the team had already done their Christmas pictures. His ability to laugh through the injury shows why he is one of the most complete players in the game.

“I don’t feel too good,” Brady said (via sportsnet). “I don’t feel too good looking right now either. Thank god we got the Christmas pictures done already.”
