Luongo said that he gets hit in the neck once a year.
He\'ll shake it off and carry the nucks once again.
Loungo took another shot in the neck.. He said that it should be fine...
are the canucks going to stop trying to whipe out there franchise in practice...

Gosh I was so hoping it was a worse injury....hah
you\'d think he\'d start wearing a neck protector

all goalies wear throat protectors... it\'s required. I imagine he got hit on the side of the neck or something. Last I checked, suits of armor were not proper goalie attire. Goalies are likely to get hit somewhere with the puck that hurts at some point. They play through it.you\'d think he\'d start wearing a neck protector
He\'ll be just fine.

not all goalies wear throat protectors, there is no league rule requiring them.

wow. well that\'s just plain stupid. yeah... lets concern ourselves with the size of the crease, the goalie pad thickness, visor tint colors, number of fights in a game... but who cares if the goalies wear protection on the most vulnerable part of their body?
that\'s just plain idiotic. Guys can shoot the puck 100 miles an hour, and some goalies rely on blind luck that they don\'t get hit in the throat and get a collapsed windpipe. That\'s the stupidest thing I\'ve ever heard of.
Frankly, I\'m surprised that a goalie hasn\'t died recently from this if this is the case...
Thanks for the post repent... I still can\'t believe that.

i think it\'s really stupid too, it should definitely be mandatory, especially after the malarchuk incident. i am surprised we don\'t see more major incidents with skaters and neck lacerations / trauma as well.

i heard labatt is coming out with a new packaging system:
\"The Luongo Neck Bottle\"
DEFENCE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS
The NHLPA is to blame. They should be looking out for their clients safety. Some of the goalies don\'t like wearing the neck/throat protectors. That\'s too bad. I remember when they finally grandfathered the mandatory wearing of helmets (ok, now I know I\'m getting old), some of the players didn\'t like that either. Sometimes we need rules to protect us from ourselves.
Well put Lanky, it is idiotic that it\'s not a mandatory piece of kit.
