In light of Chris Pronger’s scary eye injury on Monday, the debate surrounding visors has resurfaced. Will the NHL make visors mandatory for its players? Or should the league continue to let it be the player’s choice? Eventually, it will probably be the former.Anybody who signs up to play hockey (especially in the NHL) knows it’s a dangerous game where freak accidents occur...

When Chris Pronger returns to the NHL, he'll have more than his captain's "C" as a uniform accessory. He'll also wear a protective shield. Pronger suffered the scariest injury of his 18-year career this week when a wayward stick jabbed him just outside his right eye during a 4-2 win over Toronto.

Chris Pronger’s injury this week should not be a catalyst for more safety measures in the NHL.
Players go through major juniors wearing visors, and, once at the professional level, they’re adults, and can make their own decisions.
Every time a player takes a stick or puck in the face, and isn’t wearing a visor, questions and rants abound.
With Pronger’s case...

It was a frightening sight that nearly cost an NHL star his sight. Chris Pronger, one of the biggest and baddest blueliners in the NHL, was left screaming in agony, dashing to the locker room as 19,569 fans at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center feared the worst after the Flyers defenseman was hit in the eye by Toronto forward Mikhail Grabovski's stick Monday night. Pronger...

To me, there is no visor debate. It’s only a matter of time before visors are mandated in the NHL. The Chris Pronger injury will only expedite the process.
What a lot of people don’t seem to understand is that the visor discussion goes well beyond a player’s personal choice. There will always be hockey players who don’t want to wear shields. For some guys, it’s...

The month of October has not been one that Flyers fans will want to remember. After jumping out to a 4-0-1 start, the Flyers have sputtered to a 1-4 record since. Losing captain Chris Pronger has put this this team in an emotional whirlwind that is all too eerily reminiscent to the 2009-2010 [...]

Darren Dreger raised a question on Twitter on Tuesday about visors/shields that I had not considered.
Let's go back to Monday night's game against Toronto. Chris Pronger takes a stick to the right eye on an attempted shot by Mikhail Grabovski.
I am told the blade caught him flat around the right eye, causing swelling and a cut. The Flyers feel Pronger was lucky that...

The Flyers will look to build on their win over the Toronto Maple Leafs earlier this week as they take on another team from north of the border; the Montreal Canadiens.
Goaltender Carey Price (.878 Save %, 3.13 GAA) and newcomer Eric Cole (1G, 1A, minus 4) have really struggled as the Canadiens are off to an abysmal 1-5-2 start this season. Their only win came against the Winnipeg...

Welcome to the Hotstove! As always, I'm your host, Travis Yost.
On Saturday, I was joined by four other bloggers - Bill Meltzer of the Philadelphia Flyers, Richard Cloutier of the Edmonton Oilers, Adma French of the Phoenix Coyotes, and John Jaeckel of the Chicago Blackhawks - to discuss the future of visors in today's National Hockey League.

The Philadelphia Flyers' first game without defenseman Chris Pronger did not go well.
The Winnipeg Jets would like the Flyers' second game without their captain to end the same way.
Opening a season-high seven-game trip Thursday night, the Jets franchise goes for its fifth straight road win against Philadelphia, which is trying to rebound from its most lopsided defeat of...
