Pyrex wouldn't break but it would've been like hitting a brick wall.
Pucks also are heading straight towards the glass, and have a much smaller surface area.

He was going down the track for the most part, so the actual impact with the plexiglass would have been far less than the 150km/h.

Like if I'm driving along at 100km/h and I weave into the meridian concrete, it'll damage the car but not a lot, and not like I hit it full on at 100km/h
