Red Wings prospect Mitch Callahan took a puck to the mouth and this happened

Detroit Red Wings prospect Mitch Callahan, who currently plays for the Grand Rapids Griffins, showed everyone on Wednesday night that he is not afraid to take a hit. And by that we mean Callahan is a true hockey player who can eat a puck and live to joke about it on social media.

If you are squeamish, we don’t recommend clicking after the jump. Like most other players who have fought a puck, Callahan lost. Proceed if you dare.

Remember when Sidney Crosby took that puck to the mouth last year and needed oral surgery? I’m guessing Callahan will probably need a little of that, too.
