I cleared a puck out of my zone once, up on the glass but it took a very funny bounce off the metal instead and nailed a guy in the teeth.

Yes, very weird and guilty feeling you have when someone gets hurt but it was just one of those things. He was looking to catch the puck and keep it in the zone, so he was skating right towards it. Sometimes you don't need to be so agressive whiel playing shinny.

I also took a puck off the jaw a whiel ago and got more than a few stitches, would have been ****ed if I lost some teeth. I wear a full face Itech now.
