Filip Forsberg dives facefirst to block a shot

We know hockey players are tough but NO NO NO NO NO NO NO FILIP YOUR FACE IS IMPORTANT

There's no non-painful way to block a shot in hockey. This seems like the way that could lead to the most pain.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH WHY WOULD YOU DIVE FACE-FIRST TOWARDS A MAN WHOSE FEET HAVE KNIVES ATTACHED TO THEM SHOOTING A FLYING PUCK THAT YOU APPARENTLY WANT TO STOP WITH YOUR OWN FACE WHY OW WHY

The young Predators All-Star apparently avoided major facial damage, but did succeed at taking out the shooter with what amounts to a slide tackle.
