Too funny, Shows where the priorities are.
ReplyDeleteSad but true...
ReplyDeleteProbably because they do all their "thinking" with the "other" brain.
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly.... Players who were in the league before 1974 didn't have to wear helmets after the rule was instated... Bobby Orr never wore his helmet and retired a few years after the rule was put into place....

Asblack is right. If they were in the league before the rule they did not have to wear a helmet.
ReplyDeleteBut I have to say if it came down to taking a puck in the head or the nuts, I think alot of people would prefer the head.
If I do indeed have to take a puck off of one these two options, I'd rather it be my head.
ReplyDeleteProtective masks for goalies also was a late rule. They weren't required until the early 1960's.
There was a big protest against this rule. Goalies claimed they couldn't see the puck! No shit, they couldn't see it until it hit them in the eye!
Another funny ... where do you find these ?? Love it.
