Edmonton Oiler Center Matt Hendricks certainly prevented a goal against the Dallas Stars on Thursday, but at what cost?

In this clip, Hendricks straight-up takes a point-blank range shot to the dick, then promptly scurries off the ice to reevaluate hockey as a career. On the bright side, when he falls down, he immediately ices the damaged area. That's gotta help a little, right?

Id like to thank Bike & @RussellAthletic for saving my bacon tonight! #closecall pic.twitter.com/heGYVlQnqr— Matt Hendricks (@MattHendy26) January 22, 2016
