Looking Good, Paille...

You can barely notice that your face was exploded by a solid rubber disk going 90+ mph.

It looks fine. Just tape it up and get back out there.

Seriously though, nobody is talking about how much of a bullshit shot that was by Steve Staios.

It's easy to overlook because guys block slapshots all the time, but the difference is Paille wasn't trying to block that shot.

I mean, if he wasn't wearing a visor, Danny Paille could be dead right now.

Side note - Paille, how do you feel about still being alive?

And I'm no hockey scientist, but I'm pretty sure that's unnacceptable.

There is a reason you never see dudes get blasted in the face when another dude tries to shoot as hard as he can; it's because defensemen have a responsibility to keep slapshots from the point low for that exact reason.

So I wouldn't be surprised if the B's let Steve Staios know how they feel about it the next time the B's play the Islanders.

And it's not that Staios is a dirty player or anything, far from it. But you just don't shoot that puck off the halfwall like that. It was just a bad decision.

The great thing about Paille, though, is that he won't hesitate for a second next time he has to block a shot again.

So hopefully Paille will be back soon throwing his face in front of slapshots in no time.
