I understand your frustration. I once had a mask not an Onty that I just got painted. My first real pro painted mask. I played about 10 or so games with it love the fit loved the mask. All was wonderful. We are up big in a game. Puck comes along the goal line towards the corner boards. The Asshat had no shot but insisted on trying to put the puck through me. Well I’m short 5’8 on skates. I took that unnecessarily blast over my left eyebrow above the cage. I saw shit fly off my mask. I wasn’t hopeful. Period ended minute later. I gave it a look saw a decent crack in it. I said well this mask is “cuffed”
Point is playing this position this shit is gonna happen.
