Flyers defenceman Chris Pronger has blurred vision in his right eye and does not know when he'll return to the ice after being jabbed in the face.
Pronger spoke Saturday night for the first time since Toronto's Mikhail Grabovski hit him just outside his right eye with a stick blade. Pronger says he feels lucky the injury was not worse because serious eye injuries have ended careers in the NHL.
Pronger, an 18-year veteran, does not wear a visor. The protective piece is not required in the NHL, though the Flyers said Pronger would not be cleared to play unless he wears one. Pronger declined to say if he would wear one whenever he comes back.
This is a huge blow for the Flyers but this could of been a lot worse. So my question is do you guys think visors should become mandatory in the league? That stick could of ended Prongers career.
I personally think they should be mandatory. Thoughts?
