Anyone else catch Mark Scheifele almost catching Bedsy’s skate to the neck/face?



Schedule tripped Bedsy at the knees and, in doing so, it looked like he almost caught Bedsy’s skates to his face and/or neck.

  1. After watching multiple times, there’s no “almost”.. he catches the second one to the chin. Luckily there was no lateral movement of the foot. Scary stuff.

    Someone almost caught a flying skate in one of the WJC games this morning too. Super scary seeing how close it is to disaster in slo mo

    Watching this game, didn’t even notice! Holy crap that was a close shave!

    An inch or two closer and that’s a brutal injury

    No that skate at least caressed his face. His chin strap got caught by it you can see it.

    Holy fuck, inches away from ruining two peoples careers and lives. I don’t know why they aren’t all wearing neck protection yet

    Is it because the game is just much more athletic than even 5-10 years ago? Have seen more skates to the face and neck this season alone than in past years.

    If I was Scheif if this isn’t enough of an incentive to wear a neck guard I don’t know what it takes

  9. Almost like it’s more common of an occurrence than people realize. Almost like neck guards should be mandated.

  10. Man, I’m really thinking they should implement masks or cages. Like, make it so you never stop wearing them after minor hockey. Grandfather in the guys now, of course.

    I had this happen to me right after Junior in an old timers league.. caught me on my left cheek under my eye and came across my nose. Cut part of my nostril clean through and broke my nose so bad the bones were displaced almost under my other eye. It was nasty. Healed well though!

    Neck guards plus face masks. This league needs to be strict

    Jfc I don’t know if I wasn’t paying attention last season but it feels like I’m seeing this way more this season.

    Not long ago there was a pile up at the net everybody on all fours trying to get up and a skate grazed a guy’s head like that.

    It’s going to be tough to watch/hear if something happens.

    And so Scheifele isn’t wearing a neck guard here. I swear to God these things might have to be made mandatory.

    Mandatory neck guards, and face masks! Problem solved

    Bedard with the dive! Felt the stick at his legs and decided to act… Fortunately it ended well…

    Yet all the people demanding justice for Johnston use the argument that this “doesn’t happen that often”

    Checked the box score didn’t see the Scheifele penalty. Best refs in the world tho….

    this game is so fast now anything can happen in a blink of an eye

    Maybe it’ll make Scheifele think about smashing someone face into a post… Nah I’m sure he’s still gonna go full retard
