A Hockey Player Took a Slap Shot Directly to the Eye

Posted by Murphy on

In case you missed it, Marc Staalof the New York Rangers took a slap shot to the EYE in a hockey game against the Flyers on Tuesday night. First it deflected off someone's stick . . . which didn't slow it down much. Then it hit him directly in the right eye. He went down immediately, and started flailing around on the ice . . . which is understandable when you see the video. According to the team, he's out indefinitely. But his doctors are optimistic that he'll make a full recovery. (--It's also reignited the debate over whether hockey players should be REQUIRED to have facemasks on their helmets.)
