as a former goalie myself, i can easily say that getting a puck right to the neck, even with a neckguard, is one of the scariest things that can happen. your throat just instantly swells up, and it feels like you can't swallow, and when you try to? it feels like you just chugged a hot chocolate fresh off the pot without cooling it down. that's with a regular slapshot in a lower tier league... i can't even imagine what it'd feel like taking a weber shot in that area.

In high school we did a drill where the shooters formed a 1/2 circle like 10-20 feet from the net, shooting slappers. I didn't have a throat guard at the time (this was 1983) and after the drill, the coach skates up to me and asks if I ever thought of getting one. If I play again, I won't step back in net--the players don't warm you up properly and the opposing players are a-holes. One guy at the Flyers practice rink took a slapper like 10 ft from the net, catching me in the collarbone. Surprised it didn't break. I told him "Really? I could score from 10 ft with my goalie stick." Idiots.

As we are strapping the goalie to the board, I hear a noise over my shoulder as I hear a slapshot ... and the visitors goal (again in warmup) drops. I get the arena security on our radio and that we need a second bus ... thankfully both were ok after xrays at the local hospital and we had a relatively quiet night.

Years ago I took a bad knee injury as a goalie. Guy came in on a breakaway, I dropped to butterfly, his skate smashing into my knee which was bent in butterfly position. Anyway, my kneecap slid to the slide of my knee. When i tried to get up I was shocked to find out I could no longer bend my knee

[@projoeiii]

I love how Bishop was the thumbnail for this video and how he’s the first injury. Bishop was a diving (insert banned word here) and pulled his share of cheap shots. Glad he never won.

[@GulsCult]

Just think that back in the day, goalies like Terry Sawchuck would take those shots in the face without any headgear whatsoever.

[@rickytavilla4259]

I had multiple concussions in my youth. Completely knocked out they just gave me smelling salts and told me to shake it off. Happened a lot from practice.

Name a more iconic duo than Carlson and making slapshots to the face.

[@QenaitheCustodianGuard]

Considering how tall bishop is you'll think his head would be out of the way, the guy has always been cursed

[@aZebruh]

Weird seeing the first clip not blown dead, as a stars fan, i forget if that goal stood. Cause in the other clips they stop play real quick

[@Sweetness71775]

In regards to the first clip: NHL Rule 8.1: "When a player is injured so that he cannot continue to play or go to his bench, the play shall not be stopped until the injured player’s team has secured control of the puck. If the player’s team is in control of the puck at the time of injury, play shall be stopped immediately unless his team is in a scoring position." The play wasn't blown dead because the Blues were in possession of the puck. That's why that was a good goal.

[@FHL-Devils]

Goalies have different rules though, and even for regular players, if they are in a position of imminent risk (such as in the shooting lane) and unable to defend themselves, the play MUST be blown. Especially in the era of head injury awareness, it was inexcusable to allow play to continue.

[@Sweetness71775]

@@FHL-Devils Show me where that rule has an exception for goalies. As in, show me the exact rule.

[@FHL-Devils]

@@Sweetness71775 - The rule of common sense and practical application. When you have someone laying prone, unable to defend themselves, directly in the path of a likely shot, it is irresponsible and immoral to allow a GAME to continue. Who is most likely to be directly in a shooting lane? If you're forcing have to answer that, then you're just trolling.

[@mtmcommunity]

I've been to a game where Curtis Joseph a old goalie for Arizona coyotes got hit in the head with a puck, knocked his helmet off and he was face down for 5 minutes with trainers surrendering him. 5 minutes of silence until he popped up and was ok just shook, the puck was in his helmet still when he picked it up

[@nicholasmyers1232]

Goalie here. Played at a higher level when I was in my early teens and even at that age taking a puck to the mask literally rings your head to the point you lose hearing temporarily. On many occasions would I hear ringing after a ricochet lol

[@ThatBallHockeyGoalie]

Wheres the shot Ovi took and broke lehners mask couple weeks ago? I can't find that video anywhere.

[@techlover231]

I remember the days watching Gump Worsley of the Montreal Canadians play without a mask. Gerry Cheevers of the Boston Bruins use to mark his mask with a stitch mark every time he was hit. What scares me today is the lack of protection around the neck. I see some goalies with a hanging plate so pucks can't get through.

The Hog Rider is a fast ground troop with medium hit points, low damage, and the ability to jump over enemy Walls. He is unlocked at level 2 Dark Barracks. The Hog Rider (person) is a bare-chested dark-skinned man holding a hammer. He has a Mohawk, wears a brown leather loincloth, a red belt, and a pair of leather sandals, as well as two large golden wristbands and a gold earring. His ride is a large hog, about half his height. It has a brown leather bridle looped around its tusks, which in turn is held by the Hog Rider. Hog Riders prioritize defensive structures above all other targets, and will bypass all other types of enemy buildings and troops while any defenses remain on the battlefield. This is true even if they are under attack by enemy Clan Castle troops, heroes or Skeleton Trap skeletons. Note that like all troops that prioritize defenses, Hog Riders do not consider the Clan Castle to be a defense regardless of whether or not it contains enemy troops, but do consider the defending Grand Warden and the activated Town Hall weapon (if any) to be defensive buildings. Once all defenses are destroyed, Hog Riders become like any other troop with no preferred target; they will attack the nearest building to them regardless of type, and will turn and attack enemy units if they become aware of any nearby and can fight back against them. He can be used to jump over any level Walls, rendering them ineffective against Hog Riders. Note that while this allows Hog Riders free access to what lies behind the Walls, it does not open up gaps for other troops to move through. If the Hog Riders need the support of other ground troops, you will still need to deploy Wall Breakers, a Jump Spell, or Earthquake Spells in order to assist them. Hog Riders can be used en masse, i.e. a "Hog Rider Rush", without requiring any Wall Breakers to break Walls. However, such a strategy sports weaknesses against defending Clan Castle troops, Heroes, Giant Bombs, and Skeleton Traps, a problem which only becomes more prominent at higher levels. At Town Hall 10 and above, Hog Riders can be combined with Miners in a strategy known as Hog Miner or Hybrid. Both troops are able to bypass Walls innately, but Miners do not have a preferential target, allowing them to cover for Hog Riders by dealing with defending Heroes and Skeleton Traps. The combination also has weaknesses against flying Clan Castle troops, as neither are able to target air. At lower levels, Hog Riders are quite capable of acting as distracting troops like Giants; they have nearly as much health as a similar-level Giant, move twice as fast, and do considerably more damage. They work well with the Healing Spell when you group several of them together. A good tactic for using Healing Spells is to place them strategically on a cluster of defenses (at least about 3 or more) and also deploy them shortly before the Hog Riders arrive in the area, deploy them in front of the Hog Riders. This is so that the Hog Riders get the most value out of the Healing Spell, and destroy the defenses without losing too much HP. Spots where Giant Bombs or Bomb Towers are/may be should be given special attention when deploying Healing Spells. Hogs of the same level as the Giant Bomb will survive a single Giant Bomb, but they're helpless against a pair of Giant Bombs even with a Healing Spell. Heal them after they've gone through a Giant Bomb blast. The Hog Rider is one of the best troop types for drawing out Clan Castle troops, as it can avoid Walls to penetrate deep enough to reach centrally-placed Clan Castles (and enough health to not die before it gets there). Deploy one or a few to trigger the Clan Castle troops, then lure the reinforcement troops to the corner side, and deploy multiple Archers or Wizards to slaughter them, and then deploy the remainder of your Hog Riders. This strategy is especially effective during Clan War raids. However, Skeletons from the Skeleton Trap and Heroes can also easily kill the Hog Riders, as they can only target defenses, so make sure to have some troops that target anything, such as Wizards, which can swipe out the Skeletons. Hog Riders don't target air so flying Clan Castle troops, especially Dragons, can be a big threat. Most mass Hog Rider strategies in Clan Wars require that the Clan Castle troops be killed first by luring. Bring other troops in addition to Hog Riders, such as Wizards, to deal with enemy Clan Castle troops and clean up the base. Poison Spells can be used to kill almost any enemy Clan Castle troop, but beware as the troops will attempt to flee the poison. If the Poison Spells are decently leveled, and you effectively keep the Clan Castle troops from escaping the Poison Spell with distracting troops, they can eliminate almost any troop. They can also be used to dispense of those pesky Skeletons risen from the Skeleton Traps. Time is also a factor to consider. With only 3 minutes in an attack, it is essential to make sure that this whole process and the remainder of the attack is done as quickly as possible to avoid running out of time. Defensive Defending against Hog Riders is tricky, as their ability to bypass Walls renders them irrelevant. However, the fact that they can jump over Walls and attack defenses means that they may leave behind their ground support (such as Barbarians, etc.), as they will not be able to follow. This will allow your interior defenses to concentrate on the Hog Riders. Another way to defend against Hog Riders is to exploit the fact that they will attack the closest defensive building. You can arrange your base in such a way so that you have high-powered defenses on the inside and lower-powered defense on the outside, with a layer of resources in between. That way, the Hogs will (in theory) complete a loop around your base before being able to attack your interior defenses (Inferno Towers, X-Bows, etc.), by which time they should have all been killed by the interior defenses. You can place Spring Traps and Giant Bombs in between defensive buildings to take out a few Hog Riders at a time; good usage of multiple Spring Traps and Giant Bombs can severely hinder a Hog Rider rush. Hog Riders can be easily killed using "forced pathing". Forced pathing is a strategy that manipulates the Hog Rider AI and makes them go to at least 2 defenses that cannot be prevented by surgical dropping or side clearing. Placing a set of Giant Bombs in between the two can most certainly hinder the attacker progress. They would not be able to heal the Hog Riders in time. Clan Castle troops, Heroes, and Skeleton Traps set to Ground Mode can be an annoyance to mass Hog Rider raids, as Hog Riders will not attack them unless all defenses have been destroyed. Make sure to centralize them if you want to beat Hog Riders. In Clan Wars, Dragons are excellent troops to place in Clan Castles against Hog Riders, especially for Town Halls 8 and 9. They have high HP, meaning they won't die easily and can kill mass quantities of Hog Riders swiftly if not properly lured. Most mass Hog Rider strategies require that the enemy Clan Castle troops be killed first, so if the attacker lures out a Dragon, but fails to kill it, then a 3-star win is next to impossible, much less a 1-star win via destroying 50% of the buildings. Multi-target Inferno Towers can be a severe hindrance to Hog Riders, having high HP to take several hits from Hog Riders, while hitting large groups of them. Although the Hog Rider is certainly not a liability on defense, the fact that all defensive troops are unimpeded by Walls negates the primary advantage of the Hog Rider. Still, for the space they take they are faster and more damaging compared to Giants. Upgrade Differences The Hog Rider undergoes significant visual changes at levels 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10. Initially, the Hog Rider is a dark-skinned man with a black mohawk and beard. He also has a gold earring in his right ear and sports two heavy golden wristbands, a red belt, and a brown loincloth. The Hog Rider's hammer has two brass bands. At level 3, his hammer increases in size and turns black. The brass bands on the hammer's head disappear, and the hammerhead goes further down onto the stick, creating a button looking object on the top of the hammerhead. At level 5, his mohawk turns from black to orange, making it similar to that of a level 5 Goblin. At level 6, his hammer gains three large, golden spikes and a bronze plating. At level 7, the edges of his hammer start to glow red, and he gains a brown headband but reverts to a black mohawk. At level 8, his hammer is now mostly golden. His hog also gains a headband. At level 9, the gold on his hammer is much thicker. His headband also lightens in color. At level 10, his hammer turns a bright light blue color that resembles the look of ice. This matches the theme of Town Hall 13. It also gains a small same-colored glow. At level 11, his hammer turns a light greenish color. This matches the theme of Town Hall 14. His hog gains gold armour on its face and muzzle.

The amount of times Bishop has gotten hit in the head or neck with a puck is crazy
