A hockey puck got stuck under Patrik Nemeth’s visor

It’s funny because he didn’t lose an eye!

Hockey defensemen have to get creative when they’re blocking shots. You can’t just use a hockey stick, you have to get physical and use your body. And hey, sometimes you have to use your face.

Dallas Stars player Patrik Nemeth demonstrated this fact against the Calgary Flames Monday evening, when a puck deflected off a stick and wedged itself inside his visor.

This might seem like exactly where you don’t want a hockey puck to be, but hey, at least the Flames didn’t score, right?
