Oilers player shows off his smashed cup after taking a slapshot to the crotch

Thursday's game between the Edmonton Oilers and Dallas Stars had a really scary moment, where Oilers player Matt Hendricks inadvertently blocked a Stars slapshot with his crotch. He was taken to the locker room shortly after.

As nasty as that scene looked, thankfully he’s OK, thanks to his trusty cup:

When in doubt, wear a cup. You never know.
