What's also a shame is that here in "flyover" America, hockey never gets any run unless something bad happens in the sport....

For example, I watch Pardon the Interuption everyday or so, and maybe once a month they talk about hockey. Last week they questioned whether the Red Wings would break their own NHL record of 62 wins in a season, but they couldnt name a single player on the team. Yesterday's show started with the story about Zednik. I was curious as to what there take on it would be, seeing as they have no understanding about hockey. But they were actually quite right in their take, I think, basically just saying, they couldnt believe it doesnt happen more often, and thank god he is alive.

On a related note, I do wear a visor, and most on my rec team do, in the dressing room before our game Sunday (before Zedniks injury), a couple guys debated taking their visors off, but didnt. Then literally 20 seconds into our game, one of our Defenceman, took a puck in the eye and left for the hospital. He was not wearing a visor.
