Kronwall: Just another senseless victim
From Octopus over at The Face Off Circle, we get another example of a hockey player not wearing their helmet&visor correctly.
Why do players continue to wear their helmets too loose? Remember Donald Brasher getting whacked by Marty McSoreloser? Brash's head hit the ice because his loose helmet popped off. The damage wouldn't have been nearly as severe if the helmet was on properly.
What's it gonna take?
Kronwall took a deep cut across the nose, after delivering this hard hit in the Colorado game.If you wore a jock strap, would you wear it over your ass, or only covering one ball? (well, you would if you are Phil Kessel).
He's another guy, who doesn't know how to wear his helmet and visor correctly. It's always sitting too far back on his head, so he's looking under the visor.
I suspect he'll be wearing a full face-shield for awhile, now. Maybe he'll get used to looking through the plexiglas, and start wearing his usual one properly.
