Horrible, but actually, I’m surprised this or something similar doesn’t happen more often. Those players are skating about like off the track freight trains, barely missing each other.
They know the instruments of their sport are lethal. That’s why if you break a stick it gets tossed on the ice immediately. Pucks flying at 100 mph. (Saw Barry Ashby get hit in the eye with one) Very few players leave the ice except for collisions. It’s a manly sport. They drop their gloves, when fighting. Yeah, it’s a manly sport.
