Cole has the best reaction to injury!

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Ian Cole to practice on Monday wearing a full face shield. And we understand why. The poor defender was hit by a shot from Nashville Predators captain Roman Josi and lost three teeth.

After underdoing some procedures to fix his face, Cole hopes to be back in uniform tonight against the New York Rangers.

When asked what through his mind before the injury, Cole revealed his reaction to seeing Josi's shot heading his way. And it is hilarious.

Ian Cole on when he saw Josi's blast: "It was just enough time for me to register, ‘Oh shit, this is really gonna hurt.’ "

Hey, it's better to laugh than to cry about it.

Rosi's blast hit Cole straight in the mouth. See the shot once again down here:
