If you need yet another example of why wearing a visor is a good idea, Nate Thompson of theTampa Bay Lightning gave a sudden and unexpected demonstration of how and what it protects on Saturday when a Mike Green slapshot hit him in the head, decimating his visor and 
cutting him.

Wear a visor. That is ridiculous.

It's really time for visors. I used to think they were for pussies and what not. Imagine if the puck had hit him in the face.

Even shatter proof visors or something because can you imagine if the glass went into his eye or something? Would have probably been more dangerous
