Ice crew member almost hit in head with puck

[RomanEmpire]

Am I crazy for thinking this is completely reckless? The commentator's are just laughing it off but if that first puck hit him in the temple it could have done some serious damage.

Help me out here..I've never played hockey but as soon as you skate onto the ice for warmups do you really not look at the net before you shoot a puck?

Wtf was the last one? He wasn’t even close to the net.

Sometimes players just whack the puck along the boards.

 

[Rob Brown]

Why the f*** did the players shoot directly at the net? He was clearly right there. TWO times...

 

[Confucius]

First one wasn’t bad, last two I think they were just trying to bug the guy. In the end Not cool.

First one was clearly the hardest shot & barely missed his head

I thought the 1st one was just slid along the ice. If it wasn’t it was a shit thing to do by the player. Anyway as I said it wasn’t a very smart decision by the players. Appears they wanted to hurry the guy out of there

Wtf. What are they doing, how can they not see him in the net.

 

[Statsy]

Terrible goaltending. Didn't stop a single damn shot!

 

[SI90]

No way they didn’t see him. Wtf? That could have ended really bad.

Arrogant young kids who thinks they are more valuable human beings than other because they can play hockey. Have seen these plenty.

 

[Huokaus]

Yeah no, no matter how much you trust your own sniping skills you can't play around like that. I can't really fathom the shooters not even glancing at the goal and immediately spotting a person without gears there. I wouldn't even mind some repercussions to the players in question for such idiocy.

Yup that was just disrespectful.

 

[CanadianHockey]

Disrespectful is putting it politely.

 

[clevelandcane]

Dopes. Pay some attention.

Some actions should be made.. That kind of behavior is unaccepable..

 

[PG Canuck]

No idea how they couldn't see him there. The net wasn't even in the proper position to begin with. Head scratching.

Yeah, I think the teams/governing bodies should be fined.

 

[lidstromiscool]

Not an excuse, but players at this level are used to the nets already being pegged when they go out for warmups. Idk how they didn't see the kid though.

 

[habsterr]

Yeah, I think the teams/governing bodies should be fined.

Id say give them a fair verbal warning, after that you can hand out fines.

 

[Iceman]

So who is he going to sue?

 

[Kyndig]

I can't believe people think they didn't see him in net. Ofc they saw him, they're just being arrogant little shits (or shit as it could've been the same person.)

Since when do you skate around watching the puck the whole time without ever once looking at the net? Oh right never.

 

[Tryblot]

Who was the first one that shot the puck? Little shit deserves to get his teeth knocked in.

Late teenage hockey players are often like a meme unto itself. The prototypical bully jocks that will only shut up after someone hands their asses to them
