If there is one thing that is truly terrifying about a sport with sticks, it's the fear of getting struck in the face. Beyond the face, getting struck in the eye is a real nightmare.
It doesn't happen often, but tonight, John Klingberg fell victim. He was struck directly in the eye by Boris Katchouk of the Chicago Blackhawks, and there was a lot of blood on his visor.

Hopefully Klingberg will be okay, and will be able to help a team go after a Stanley Cup after the deadline.
