I'd Give My Left Nut for...

We've all heard how hard the playoffs really are, and how players go to war. Injuries are just part of it. Well would you give your left nut for a Stanley Cup?

Patrick Thoresen just might. TSN has more:

Flyers left wing Patrick Thoresen was taken to the hospital for tests after getting hit in the groin by a shot during Philadelphia's 5-4 loss to Washington on Friday night.

That sounds bad right... this part sounds even worse:

Thoreson went down to block a slap shot by Washington Capitals defenseman Mike Green with the Flyers clinging to a one-goal lead early in the third period. The puck struck Thoresen between the legs with such force that after the game he was taken to a Washington hospital Center.

Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren said Thoreson might need to have a testicle removed.

Here's a salute to Patrick Thoresen...the kids got balls. For now.
