Pucks to the face

[StateoftheSport.com]

After seeing Marc Staal take a puck off the eye on Tuesday I heard some commentators talking about the NHL potentially making visors mandatory. I thought it was a stupid conversation because we all know the NHL will never do it. Why should the NFL protect the players that to stupid to protect themselves.

They're allowed to wear face masks, but very few actually do. They deserve to have their faces torn up with sticks and pucks until they realize that protecting your face from a misplaced slap shot doesn't make you any less tough. It just makes you smarter then the guys that came before you.

I do have a weird urge to visit a certain blog though, damn subliminal sneakypants.

Corey Perry took a skate to his visor last night. His teammate Brad Staubitz, who does not wear a visor, took a skate to his upper lip and nose. It's not just the pucks you have to worry about today.

Careful, that's America's Team you're talking about. I expect that kind of talk from a communist Canadian heathen like Dash, but Lil Biz? C'mon man.

My guess is it might have something to do with the fact that these players are paid millions to play hockey and not sit in the pressbox due to preventable injuries. They pay what must be insane premiums to insure the contracts from injury. I'm sure these premiums would eventually drop significantly if players started to protect themselves better.

Edit - I'm also sure the players would start protecting themselves better if they forfeited their salary while sitting out due to injuries that were deemed preventable.
