I think it's logical to assume that deflecting a puck with a flat stick is easier than making square contact between a round ball and a rounded bat, especially when said ball is not traveling in a straight line.

You're right that I have no experience playing hockey, and please correct me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't the person taking the shot be trying to place it in the easiest spot for a deflection? In baseball, the pitcher is trying to place every pitch in a specific spot where the hitter won't be able to hit it.

The hitter also has no idea what type of pitch is going to be thrown. It could be a 95mph fastball, it could be a 90mph slider or cutter which can break over a foot, it could be an 85mph curveball which can also break over a foot, or it could be a changeup that looks exactly like a fastball, but is often 10mph or more slower. They need to react to this in about .2 seconds, swing a bat, and hit the ball squarely in the center of it in order to make solid contact. They also need to judge what type of pitch it is in that time by picking up the rotation of the seams on the ball.

It's a bit more complicated than "standing there swinging a bat."

so "let's assume" that throwing an object is much more accurate than hitting it with a stick so it goes where you want it to go so another guy with a stick can deflect it somewhere else.

even girls win prizes at throwing things at carnivals.

getting hit in the face by a baseball happens once a year to maybe 2 guys, what i talk about happens every game.

russel go sit in the corner....


How often to NHL players get hit in the face with the puck? I've never seen it, and I watch pretty much every Sabres game. The only player who I've ever seen get hit in the face is a goalie, who wears a mask. I'm not saying it doesn't still hurt, but you can't compare getting hit in a mask with getting hit on your face.

Yes, and they throw them over 90mph into a window about the size of your fist from 60 feet away.

truthfully neither did I. I played with the highschool team one day and was smacking balls our "lead pitcher" was tossing and was asked why I didnt play baseball. I told them cause its a boring ass game. That I dont enjoy.


Soccer and Hockey were my sport. Hockey I played up to double A, soccer i played competitively as well. Hockey was alot harder to move up then soccer though because every kid in Toronto plays it. I maxed out at double A third line On West Mall Lightening. Then I just focused on soccer because it was cheaper, I was better at it, had more fun playing it and I didnt have to drive 12 hours every 2nd day for tournaments.

You seeing it doesn't change anything. I've watched every Sabres game for about the last 5 or 6 years and have never once seen a non-goalie get hit in the face with a puck. Not once. I've seen many pitchers get hit in the face/head with comebackers, and I've seen even more batters get hit in the head/face with pitches.

I've seen kids get hit in the face with comebackers when I played baseball as well. When a goalie gets hit in the face, they stop play until they can collect themselves. When a pitcher gets hit in the face with a comebacker, they go to the hospital.

I really honestly think you make up about 90% of the things you say. Baseball in Canada is a joke anyways, so I wouldn't be surprised if your "lead pitcher" was terrible even if you were "smacking balls," thrown by him. Like 99% of high school level pitchers can't throw a ball 90mph. It's not quite as hard to hit an 80mph fastball.
