An update on center Craig MacDonald, who had to leave Thursday's game after being hit in the mouth with a wrist shot from Maple Leafs defenseman Hal Gill.

The team said on Friday MacDonald lost nine teeth, five cleanly while four were shaved in half. He received about 50 stitches to his tongue and the inside of his lower lip, and a few more on his chin.

As if that weren't enough, Friday morning he needed three root canals.

Amazing that given all that damage he skated himself off the ice and is still listed as possible for Saturday's game. Hey, he's a hockey player.
