A doctor should not be able to force a player into that decision unless there is a clear reason for it, such as making a player wear a face shield when they have a broken jaw that can really be messed up if it gets re-injured. Given that Pronger only has a fairly small cut and some swelling, its hard to see a practicle reason to require a shield… other then perhaps the doctors own philosophical objection to players not wearing them.

Side Note: Everyone in the media really needs to stop trying to baby sit the players, and let them make their own decisions. I know you guys need to make these controversies to justify your existence, but where does it stop? Should we just ban hockey, and every contact sport for that matter, outright since they are inherently dangerous to play?
