A recent video of Vincent Arseneau is going viral across social media. The professional hockey player was videoed snapping his finger back into place after getting into a fight on the ice.
The incident happened in a game between the Syracuse Crunch and Laval Rocket when Arseneau was with a player on the Crunch.
The fight wasn’t too long, and once it concluded, the cameras followed Arseneau, who was in serious pain.
That’s when he held up his left hand, and the ring fingertip was completely bent. It looked like he was just trying to shake it off when he suddenly grabbed it and snapped it back into place.
Social media could not believe how tough he was in the situation.
