Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Chris Tanev was in a good mood after his team’s win against the Detroit Red Wings on Friday night. He even could joke about the far from painless victory his team achieved. While the Maple Leafs scored a convincing 5-2 win thanks to a Mitch Marner hat-trick, the Toronto defensemen had a rough time during the game.

Their defense put their bodies on the line, blocking shots and taking hits to the kneecap and groin during the game. $22 million ($22,565,510) worth defenseman Jake McCabe lost a few teeth thanks to a high stick to the face.
