Whenever I hear the visor issue, I can't help but think of Wild D-man Kurtis Foster. Last year his larynx was broken when he was hit in the throat with the puck...while on the bench. He has also gotten many facial injuries from pucks, so he finally switched to a visor. Then, a few weeks ago, a puck railed up his stick and cut up his face...again. The Minneapolis Star Tribune got some nice pictures of one of his black eyes and broken cheekbones.<BR/><BR/>I understand the older guys who might not be used to wearing them, but with the younger players you'd think they would automatically use them. Between the protection studies and the full face shields required at many levels, it seems kind of like common sense.<BR/><BR/>This was a really interesting piece, though.
