Hahah…That's like being in a car accident, having the air bag deflate down to nothing and then just rip/cutting it out and tossing it to the pavement and continuing to drive following it just saving your life lol
Goalies who dont wear throat guards are crazy. I have gone through some of them myself, they do break on occasion, usually right in half. This game ended about halfway through OT so if Lehner did not have time to get a new one on his mask he likely only played about 5 minutes or so without it.
When you tilt your head down, the throat guard gets pushed up by your chest protector and it covers areas that the mask alone already covers. As long as you're square to shots, and tilt your head down slightly, throat guards are unnecessary.
They don't have a replacement throat guard? "well, this piece of plastic just saved me… Guess I'll go play without one now… I mean, lightning doesn't strike twice in the same spot, right?"… LOL
goaltender for 12 years and that throat guard helps a lot. I've faced shots from junior c players and that thing has saved me from injury. regardless of people comments , you can never predict what bounces a puck is going to take. especially at NHL level hockey . you can buy neck guards like the one I have with a throat guard but it doesn't do justice. goalie equipment isn't impenetrable
all other things aside, you'd think a professional NHL goalie could/afford would carry a spare throat protector or helmet with one. It's not that great of a leap in thinking that your helmet or pieces of it could break ingame with pucks, sticks and skated flying at you.
old video but when i played goalie for my u18 team i took a slapper t the throat in practice, next day i went and bought a dangler. our next game i took another slapper in the same spot and it snapped it in half

And that is why those were invented
Wow and first
lucky he had one on
that's why i wear one… if a puck is strong enough to break the throat guard i'd rather not take my chances with it hitting my neck
So lets go back out and play without a throat protector….smart
That might just save his life
32 second ad for a 30 second video #fucklogic
…So this piece of equipment saves him from serious injury, and he decides NOT to put on another before playing again..?
wow
The guard doesnt LOOK shattered to me
play with out it?.. without it he'd be dead…he should have reserves

>shattered throat guard protects his throat
>goes on to play without it
the logic….

I'll just play without it.
Ya cause that's smart
I took a slapshot to the face and mine got shattered
Lehner sucks.
Name of the song playing in the background? Can't remember it
Lucky he had one in the first place. Lol. If it wasn't there, his throat would be "shattered".
I have always played without throat guard. U can't turn your head freely with it, witch makes it hard to see the puck if it's behind the net.
that happened to me before
Woah that must have scared!!!
My friend sometimes plays with no throat guard

The assassination attempt by Osh…

Am I the only one that though the announcers sounded a little high?
That goes to show how strong a shot TJ Oshie is…

That's why you should just get a throat guard built into your upper body protection.

I'm A 11 Year Old & I Have A Throat Guard On My Bauer NME3 Mask & It Saves Me From A Lot Of Hard Shots & It Saves Me From A Throat Injury Too. 😀
This seriously just happened again against the Rangers. Scary how similar.
I've never understood how goalies don't play without a dangler. If it were me I would be a little freaked out tbh.
atleast u cant say that those protectors r bs
This says I’m on a dude perfect video?
Everyone stop freaking out over something so stupid… Jesus.. there are a lot of goalies that don’t play with one at all.
L
song please
So glad I sat through a 30 second ad to watch this.
At least his throat didn't get slashed by a skate.
The odds of it hitting his throat twice in the same game are slim, but I understand what people are saying.
Hmmmm, his throat guard has beed desteoyed while "maybe" saving his throat. Next: he is playing without a throat guard. Genius!
old video but when i played goalie for my u18 team i took a slapper t the throat in practice, next day i went and bought a dangler. our next game i took another slapper in the same spot and it snapped it in half
Kinda weird that this happened to him last night and he wasn't wearing a throat guard
I think it’s called a dangler
