MayRayDown Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 During the game vs PHI in the 3rd period today. Reflects off Voracek's stick and hits Staal right in the eye it seemed (was blood and was squirming in pain on the ice for awhile, then rushed off to the locker room). Reminded me of the Malhottra incident. Hope it doesn't turn out that way. Isn't it about time visors are mandatory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestCoastCanucks Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Looked horrifying. Seriously, I get that its a comfort thing but it's just stupid to risk your health by not wearing a visor. Hope he'll be okay but the slow mo of it looked brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai604 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Visors should be mandatory eventually after they grandfather all the old crankies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunningWild Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I really hope he's ok, that's horrible. Brought back scary memories of when Malhotra got hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haikara Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Ouch, that looked painful. Sad to see it happen to a young solid player. Heartwarming to see everyone showing some sign of worry for him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kessing Booth line Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Bryan Berard 2.0. Absolutely sickening. It's so preventable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanucksSayEh Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 That was difficult to watch live. Looked like it missed his eye though on replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lychees Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 That was hard to stomach, you never want to see anyone take a puck to the face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Gumballthechewy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I don't believe in making visors mandatory, if players want to risk it that's their business. You couldn't pay me enough money not to wear one, however. I hope it wasn't his eye (doesn't look that way though....) and that Mark makes a full recovery.

Bang Bang Boogie Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 His reaction made it tough to watch. I hope he's okay and it does not turn out anything like Malhotra's injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoaltenderInterference Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Oooooh.... Maybe I'm being an optimist but it looks like it hit him more in the side of the eye socket. But the way he reacted to it I really doubt it was anything but the eye. I've never seen a player thrash about as much as he did, he must have been in just a world of pain....

hockeyville88 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Horrific. I freaked when Henrik took a puck to the head on the PP. Things happen so fast out there, that sometimes there's no way to control what happens Wishing Staal all the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
