What an unfortunate freak thing. But as long as Vladar's mom (or grandma?) is in town or flown in I'm not worried.

I'm assuming it's a puck that ramped up the stick. Padding does exist but it's not great and really depends on how you're holding the stick.
This is a good example.
There are
products you can add to the stick to help with this but I doubt it's allowed at the NHL level.
Ultimately, equipment failure happens no matter what and it sucks he got unlucky.
