I got hit in the chest by a hockey puck last night

Damn, that hurt. Sitting there minding my own business and it came flying over the glass and BAM! Right over my left boob. No bruise but very tender.

I guess! It would suck to go to work and have to explain a black eye a hundred times!

(Or, just not show your tits to your coworkers I guess.)

What a buzzkill, lol.

Oh no! I am glad it didn't hit you in the face/teeth.

Important information is missing here. What game and who is your favorite team?

It was in Vancouver.
Im an Oilers fan, so rightfully, I deserve to get smoked in the gob with a puck.

It was kind of a miracle, because obviously that makes some people die.

Whoa! Seriously!? I can't imagine the pain.

I've always wondered about this happening.

I'm sorry...I can imagine it is painful!

There was a teenage girl killed at a Columbus Blue Jackets game one year. They thought she was ok but I think it turned out to be a slow bleed in the brain or something? The CBJ had to start a scholarship in her name (at 2 high schools), my daughter was the first recipient at her school.

That's why the NHL now requires the higher nets to try to stop pucks from going out. DD dated a hockey player in high school, and actually her H is too, and we went to a lot of his games. I don't think I saw any pucks fly out at them.

The odd thing about DD getting that scholarship, a few years later our paper did an article on the girl, all the things she did and liked, habits she had. She was younger than my daughter but it was like a mirror. The sports they did, what they liked to eat, how they ate a couple specific things, etc.
