Dental work on the bench 😅

The player keeps his mouth open. The broadcast booth supplies the groans.

In NHL on ESPN's Short "Dental work on the bench 😅", a player identified by the commentators as Lomberg sits while a staff member in a red Florida Panthers shirt works inside his mouth with yellow-handled scissors. Then comes the observation that gives the clip its hook: "Those aren't dental scissors."

The camera stays close as the staff member makes a cut, and the commentators sound increasingly uncomfortable. There is no elaborate setup, just an unexpected bench-side task getting its own moment on the broadcast.

The Short drew roughly 38,000 views in its first day, more than twelve times the channel's usual start for this format. Its comment section was about ten times busier than usual, too. Alongside the familiar discussion of hockey players' toughness, viewers are asking a more basic question: what exactly is being done inside Lomberg's mouth?
