well, sorry about the injury but it was definitely avoidable, and its honestly ridicules that he isnt wearing a visor. It NEEDS to be mandatory, enough of this crap, how many players need to go down before the visor is mandatory? the answer is too many. Think about it this way, if you are forced to wear shin pads to protect your legs against shots/sticks.... when your leg bones are MASSIVE, why should you not have to wear a visor when you could risk losing your vision, it makes ZERO sense, it doesn't affect your offense or vision at all, these idiots need to be wearing visors, enough is enough. A player going down in the playoffs can make the whole difference on a series, imagine if we lost phil or JVR to this same injury during the stretch of the year, there is absolutely zero chance that we make the playoffs with them out. Look at the staals, its sad that it literally took one of their brothers almost losing his vision potentially for them to smarten up and put them on. Put them on and save yourself, its not a matter of "swagger" its a matter of safety. Its ironic that a body check to the head is a penalty, but a slap shot to the head is not (whereby obviously it isnt a penalty but it generates just as much if not MUCH more force at times) put the visors on please and save yourself.
