Lidstrom played through injury 'down there.'
Right there with Ronnie Lott's pinkie, Evander Holyfield's ear, we bring you ... Nick Lidstrom's testicles. From the Detroit Free Press...
While teammates played Game 4 against Chicago, Red Wings defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom was undergoing surgery after getting speared in the testicles by Patrick Sharp in Game 3.
"I thought it was OK that Saturday when I practiced," Lidstrom said, "but Sunday, Sunday I was just in too much pain. I had surgery during that game."
Lidstrom said he would need more tests, but more surgery probably would not be needed. He said it was the most painful injury he has had.
