injury report...

Marc Staal,of the New York Rangers,got hit right above the right eye,with a puck,deflected from a Flyers' player's stick,during the Philadelphia Flyers/New York Rangers game last night... i know that i am a hardcore hockey fan,but to be hit in the face,by a puck,and/or a hockey stick is a dangerous thing... visors should be mandatory,in the NHL,or grandfathered into the League to prevent such injuries... i remember Bryan Berard,a rising star on the Toronto Maple Leafs,literally having his eye sliced open,by a stick,years ago,in one of the most gruesome injuries,that i have ever seen in pro sports... he later returned to the NHL,but was never the same player again... so i pray and hope Marc does not lose his sight,which is much more important than playing hockey...
