Bay Area News Group columnist Mark Purdy has all the details on the nature of what Couture has gone through since taking a puck to the face 2 1/2 weeks ago and all signs point to Couture gritting his teeth — or what’s left of them — and playing in San Jose’s series against the Edmonton Oilers.
That begs the question: is this the worst injury anybody has ever tried to play with?
