Martin St. Louis Eats Stick, Has Double Root Canal, Will Play Friday Anyway

On Wednesday night, we briefly mentioned Martin St. Louis’ dental issues after taking a stick to the face in Game 1 between the Lightning and the Penguins. There was no call on the play, he stayed in the game, etc. It was the realization that yes, it is indeed the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
