And now Roenick on the Red Wings got hit in the side of the head with a slap shot from the point.
There's gonna be a real bad incident eventually that's gonna shock the NHL culture bad enough that masks will become mandatory. Youth levels have to wear it, so it's not unreasonable to grandfather it into the leagues like they have with the helmet, and eye shields itself. The players wouldn't know playing hockey any different, and it would just be continuing off from the face shield implementation since it obviously doesn't go far enough.
