[Godzilla]

Wow....thats horrible. Freaking scary.

 

[GAGLine]

Hope he's okay.

It reminds me of the head shot that Zuccarello took 4 years ago:

 

[Duke749]

I don’t think that’s confirmed yet but certainly possible.

 

[Sheppy]

Wow, that's scary as hell. Hopefully he has a full and speedy recovery.

 

[Oilers Propagandist]

Yeah as soon as I saw that I was concerned for him. Hope he has a quick recovery.

 

[RorschachWJK]

That looked nasty. Here's hoping for a speedy recovery.

Bryan Little has absolutely awful injury luck. The puck to the head was an absolute freak accident, but he gets banged up badly. I would honestly consider retiring with the way things have been piling up.

-Puck to head last game
-Concussion (pre-season 2019)
-Fractured vertebrae (out for most of 2016)

Perforated ear drum and vertigo, but no word of "brain bleed", according to Maurice.

Winnipeg Jets head coach Paul Maurice revealed Thursday that centre has a perforated ear drum and is currently dealing with vertigo after taking a shot to the side of the head Tuesday night.

Still a nasty injury.

Little must be thinking thank god it wasnt Laine shooting

Or maybe he thinks damn why not be Laine so he would actually shoot on goal

 

[Alicat]

Wishing him all the best. Such a scary situation.

Coach said Little has a perforated eardrum and is presently currently dealing with vertigo. Expects him to make full recovery.

You can hear his comments following practice here.

I have thought this many times. Especially if you think about back in the day when goalies stopped pucks to the face without any mask on lol.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Wow, scary. Hope he is okay.

 

[hockeyguru]

It's a miracle more people aren't killed playing this game.

it's really not, but whatever makes the players look stronger i guess...

 

[buud]

Get well soon Mr. Little!

 

[jetsforever]

We definitely can't afford to lose centres right now, hope he's okay

When i think back I always come to the whole "Man, like what took them so long to decide to protect their heads?" haha.

Lol indeed, asif they totally forgot that pucks coukd potebtially be dangerous to get shot in the face with at over 90 mph lol.

 

[Sheppy]

The moment the first shot was taken in the first ever game of hockey i'd be like, yeah, nope...

Ear protection is a must. Players need to get over the pride thing, who cares if you look dorky, you're being safe.
