Either wear the Ear Guards or stop crying like a baby. This is pathetic. Play should not be stopped because one retarded person doesn't want to wear the proper safety equipment.
Some players don’t wear ear guards on their helmet. Yes the chances are slim of being hit but that protection can be the difference from being partially deaf or perfect hearing.

No idea why Kuznetsov would even take that shot. Just a foolish play all around.
ref instantly whistled good for him
Wish him the best.
The refs have been good about blowing plays when pucks hit the head lately. Hopefully that continues.
Oh boy, reminds me of when Bryan Little took a slap shot to the ear from Liane that ended his career
if you wore ear guards, this wouldn't happen.
Pshh Soft !
Toronto needs to take notes on helping an injured teammate off the ice
Why no ear protection? None of those helmets have? Why?
Two goals and a shattered ear drum = Man-trick
The ref reacted to injury faster than Mantha did. That whistle went from his side to his mouth and Mantha hadn't even realized he was in pain.
If they wore full face shields it would save so many teeth and injuries like this lol, but it would also eliminate high sticking penalties 😅
Man when you see their feet kicking, that shit HURT
Good thing there is equipment for that…

That has got to hurt.
balance system in ear

Ok, so neck guards and a piece of plastic along the ear hole.
