the sticks come down, and you don't do a Don Awrey blocking shots on the power play. You don't screen the goalie and let him see and stop the shot.
I doubt any of you guys ever really played hockey. Even now when we rent the ice and play pickup games, about 3 guys wear helmets (no cage or visor) and no one else does.

You sir, are a f.ucking idiot. You are seriously comparing pond/rec hockey to the NHL?

Oh yeah, What about when a guy gets tripped or slew-footed and he cracks his head on the ice? Or is tripping not going to happen in your backyard hockey game either?

it doesn't even have to be a blocking shot. those pucks come flying...

and i doubt the guys you play with are comparable with ovechkin, crosby and the like.
i can't believe you think it would be a good idea to completely change how hockey is played, just so people don't have to wear a helmet. makes no sense.
people have gotten injured after a puck hit them in the helmet, and you want them not to have that? that is completely absurd.

why were there so many less injuries when players didn't wear helmets. Bobby Hull's shot with a wooden stick was harder than any of these guys with there fancy sticks. There was nothing more exciting watching The Roadrunner coming busting over center ice with a full head of steam and a full head of hair. Part of the allure of the great Bobby Orr was that you could see him. The game was so exciting back then it was incredible, not this zone trap bull. Non playoff hockey is a joke and needs a change.

There are two types of injuries in hockey..or..any other sport. Call them intended, or unintended..ie...hitting a guy in the head with a stick or...getting tripped up on an icing call and going face first into the boards.

I agree..I think..that if everyone did not wear a helmet it might minimize the intended stuff..but...if a helmet helps reduce the unintended (slapshot in the head)..why in the world would you want to campaign for no headgear?

Don't put your head in front of a slapshot. If you do get hit the helmet isn't gonna save you. Why do all these guys have concussions if they all wear helmets ? Not thugs, big stars....open your mind
