I would say mama is gun shy and I don’t blame her. Those pucks come pretty fast and hard.

“Something needs to be done about that.” Anymore, I shudder when I hear these words.

We have a couple we are friends with and the female half of the couple can not shut up. She talks consistently. One time we went to a baseball game with them, sat on row 7 or so, above the 3rd base coaches box. She kept her head turned to thew left (away from the batter, for those of you who don't follow baseball) and talked to at my wife for 9 full innings. My wife was scared to death that this woman was going to get plunked in the back of the head.

Not saying this is what happened to this woman, but baseball and hockey require you to pay attention to what is going on.

If I got hit by a puck, I’d be wary about hockey games too.

As an aside, when I was a kid playing baseball, another kid got hit by a line drive in the head. The coach told him to get up and shake it off (this was the 70s). Then the coach tried to demonstrate to us kids that you had to shake things like that off by hitting himself in the head with a baseball as hard as he could. It was pretty amusing. I know he meant well but I doubt lessons like that would go over too well today.

A hockey puck didn’t do that. She got tuned-up.

another example of how tort law and one aggrieved person are going to ruin the experience for everyone by forcing some change no one is asking for.

Also, she has “no plans to sue” but why then does she have a lawyer making statements for her? total BS. This public employee has big $$$ in her eyes.

Maybe they should rent football helmets with face masks for those who feel “unsafe”.... ?

Years ago I was at a Dallas Stars game when a puck came flying up into the stands from center ice. My first reaction was to try and catch it ... second guessed that pretty quick. It was out of reach anyway and ended up flying into the upper level and knocking a kid out cold. The next season, the nets went all the way around the ice. I figured all NHL arenas had the nets all the way round by now.

“No plans to sue” means she’s waiting to see if she’ll get a payoff without having to go to court.
