Okay, so I realize hockey players need to protect their noggin. Especially nowadays with guys like Matt Cooke headhunting like he was part of a tribe from Papua New Guinea in the early 1900's.
But at what cost?
I mean, what's worse, suffering a mild concussion, or recieving years of ridicule from fans, friends and family for the helmet you decided to sport during your career.

Well, Butch Goring hasn't played in the NHL since Ronald Reagan was President, yet 25-years later I'm still making fun of his helmet.
All kidding aside, kids wear a helmet, but have a bit of fashion sense at least.
Even Sean Avery, a guy who has an internship at Vogue magazine, sported a helmet that looked like it was straight out of the Star Wars Stormtrooper collection. I guess picking out a helmet isn't as easy as picking out a purse.

What else am I going to write about, my teams out of the playoffs.
