Jakub Vrana suffered an awful owie during the Capitals-Hurricanes game. It was agonizing.
How do I know? NBC Sports Washington cameras captured Vrana on the bench as he tried to work through the pain.
His face tells the story.
During a replay, Vrana gets tangled up with Lucas Wallmark. As he falls to the ice, he lands awkwardly on his arm.
Vrana manages to get back to the bench and that’s where things got rough.
Let’s recap Jake’s excruciating faces.

The pain is approaching. He’s nervous.

Oh lawd, this really frigging hurts, you guys.

FIND YOUR HAPPY PLACE, JAKE.

And now: pain euphoria.

It’s almost gone. It’s almost gone. We’re going down the pain hill now.

The Zen Master is here.

And breathe that pain out. Okay, it’s gone.
Like Nate Schmidt before him, Vrana is a Human Emoji.
