Not good, could have end up ugly. Now it didnt but, not a respectful way to behave. Some kind of reprimant should be awarded to that player.
 
I said it on twitter for the video i seen there. But all players that shot a puck at him should be suspended for the rest of this tournament and banned from any future tournaments they are eligible for. There was no excuse for this happening, and should not be looked at lightly by the iihf.

I'm not sure if they're blind or just stupid.

Either way, this was dangerous. Guy was just doing his job.
 
Wow, that’s a bad look for the Czech team. Every player who shot a puck should get a game off.

Last shooter were a Swede to be honest. (According to Finnish newspapers) And it was a richocet, but still.. Should not be shooting that direction. And it was the only one hitting him?
 
That's messed up! They should all have to line up and have Al MacInnis take shots at their heads.

Anyone excusing this is sick. The kid wasn't even wearing a helmet. Not that he should have to either. Buch of D-bags.

That was weird.. Brutal for players to be shooting the pucks(they obviously didnt notice him i am assuming) but why was he still on the ice at that point? Someone shoulda been there to stop the players from stepping foot on the ice until this guy was done doing his thing.

I know when growing up playing minor hockey and still to the day when playing drop in hockey we cant step foot on the ice till zamboni person or whoever is off the ice. And this happens at a world class event?

So weird

I can understand that kind of cocky behaviour in U-16 games but here in U-20? Yeah, Czechs should be fined.

I agree, hard to blame the players although they should have seen him, but the rink staff should be off the ice before players are allowed on and the people on the ice should be wearing a helmet. Safety needs to be stepped up and they are lucky this kid didn't get hurt.

Disagree. Ice crew never have and should never have to. Players shouldn't be out there shooting pucks... INTENTIONALLY at anyone. That's just wrong.

It is now mandatory around my area for ice crews to wear helmets in some rinks while on the ice and there is no reason not to IMO. A slip and fall could cause serious damage and it's not a big deal to throw a helmet on, it only takes a second. Everyone should always be wearing a helmet out there.

As far as saying these kids intentionally shot pucks at this kid.. well I just don't believe they did and there is no proof it was intentional. But, another reason he should have had a helmet on as pucks are always flying and ricocheting off of the glass (just like the last one which could have hit him in the face)

The first shooter wasn't even looking at the net. I assume he was on autopilot and wasn't paying attention to a person being in the net because there should not have been a person in the net. Why the f*** was someone setting up a net while players are doing warmups ? Install the net earlier(obvious choice) or keep them off the ice until it's done. It's not rocket science.

Are you kidding? You are basically saying they never looked at the net before they shot and/or weren't looking where they were shooting. There doesn't have to be intention. Its common freaking sense to not shoot a puck at people. Especially ones without helmets.

That's one of the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. Come on now. Use some common sense. If any one of the MANY pucks injured him he would have a right to sue and probably win. These aren't kids at a park. These are supposed pro's in the game.

That's like saying I can go hit golf balls in my yard at peoples houses and say I wasn't intentionally aiming at the neighbors or their house / cars / children.

That's exactly what I am saying and I don't think it's that ridiculous that players could shoot pucks in the direction of the net without looking.

No it's not, it's more like driving balls at a driving range without looking out into the field and seeing the kid fixing a flag 250 yards out.

So you think they just skate out there, don't look up at all, don't look at the net, don't see who is around and just start shooting pucks like they were blindfolded. That's one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.

Its a miracle guys don't get hit with pucks and injured more often during warm-ups.

250 yards out? Is your common sense really that bad?

Dude seriously, there is something really wrong with you if this is how you think about all this.
