Girl Dies

tragic

[Pshawn5]

yeah i read that too..very sad...it's like the first time that someone has died at the pro level of nhl

[Chooco]

i always wondered if people ever got hurt from when they shoot pucks over the glass...... maybe that's why you get a penalty for doing it

btw do people ever get killed from baseballs hit into the stands at a baseball game? they are pretty hard and they travel at over 100mph....

definitely a sad sad day for that girls family. knutsen's a good guy from what ive heard too. such a shame.

[Sweet]

Poor child. That's so sad.

At the end of the article, it says 5 people have died from baseballs.

I love hockey!! Only been to 1 game so far. I usually don't have to worry about the puck coming through the tv.....

Not sure Chooco, but I remember getting hit with a line drive right above my eye while pitching to my dad. He is a pretty strong guy, but the ball only gave me a nice shiner and a headache.

( I was 11 years old and remember that like it was yesterday)


Baseballs are hard, but hockey pucks are solid frozen rubber.

Not to get off topic, but...

Sweet -
that reminds me of the intro to Ranger games they show a puck being shot right into the camera lens.....it comes hard and fast. You can see that there is not much time to move out of the way.

[Chooco]

yup pucks are brutal

i used to play hockey until i was 12, the coach always lets his kid play every friggin shift....... scam
on that team i had the third most points and the coach's kid had the second least because he was smaller than everybody else and not fast to make up for it.....

sad story

[Warthog]

Yeah but the odds of you dieing by getting hit from a hockey puck are probably greater than dieing in an airplane or.

[Chooco]

lol dude the odds are actualy greater of dying in a plane crash

there has been more than 1 death in planes before
