Linesman takes a shot in the pills during Wings/Panthers game, goes down in agony

Just a day after it was revealed that former Jets captain Blake Wheeler had played through a ruptured testicle, the league had another nut shot blooper - this time involving a linesman in the Red Wings/Panthers game in Detroit on Friday.

I would assume that the officials also wear cups, but even if they do, a shot to the nards can really sting. If they don't, I feel truly bad for that man right about now.
