Fun interview with Mo, but I was surprised to hear that he has all his teeth. The only other player I ever heard claim that he never lost one was Mickey Redmond. Curious for a guy who never wore facial protection, although he does say he was religious about his mouthguard.

I'm surprised he never took a deflection or stick and lost a tooth as well. Then again, he's pretty tall, and shot-blocking/screening/grinding/fighting weren't big parts of his game.

True, but 20 years of driving the net, its surprising one errant stick/puck/elbow didn't do him in.

His front teeth look a little too perfect to me. Maybe he just has awesome dentures??

I can't imagine it's something he'd lie about...lol

[SmokinApricot 22]

I do believe him just playing devils advocate so to speak. And he does have nice teeth lol

The size of those front teeth, they must be rooted deep. Nothing is going to knock those out.

Mouthguguard alone won't necessarily save your teeth. Guy I play with lost 2 with a mouth guard in. It was a shorthanded dump wrister that caught him right in the face, lost o e of the upper front and the one next to it.

I lost 2 teeth in my mouthguard when I got high sticked in the face this season

Can't imagine what those injuries ^^ would be like without a mouth guard in.

I'd gladly trade a couple teeth to never have been dropped in a gurney.
