Chewing the Mouthguard Looks Classless and is Careless

[Tofveve]

I'm a big Matthew Tkachuk fan, but him constantly chewing the piece of plastic (that was once formed to cover his teeth to help prevent concussions and loss of teeth) looks so dumb. And I've noticed a few other players doing it too. Looks classless. I wonder what insurance thinks about it? Wonder if the NHL cares? Looks so idiotic to me and obviously defeats the purpose of the mouthguard.

*edit- I played with a mouthguard, it's literally not a big deal at all and they serve a valuable purpose.

Hockey is going to shit.

Oral fixation

If they didn't want them chewed they shouldn't have made them Peppermint flavored.

Part of Patrick Kane's legacy. Pretty sure it started with him.

Hysteria aside, it does look kind of douchey.

 

[Tofveve]

They should penalize it.

Thank you.

like they give a penalty if you play with a broken stick or without a helmet so definitely should be unsportsmanlike for doing this

When they first introduced mouth guards in minor hockey if you didn't wear it properly you got a 10 minute misconduct. Biggest bunch of bullshit ever

What?

I don't particularly like it. I guess some guys miss their binky / pacifier.

Spitting is grosser to me though. Nothing worse than having a seat on the bench with your skates down where some guy just dumped his saliva.
