Jason Chimera’s face is a mess (PHOTO)

Everyone knows hockey players are a tough bunch, but sometimes they continue to impress us with their grit. During the first period of Wednesday’s game against the Detroit Red Wings, Chimera was on the wrong end of a hard hit that appeared to do quite a bit of damage to his nose. I don’t think this looks right:   Chimera briefly left the game, but later returned to the ice. What a champ.
