Holy shit, he didn't even look away or cover his face with his hand or anything.

He had no chance. In real time, he couldn't have reacted in time.

As someone hit in the face with a puck, you definitely don't have a chance.

Fair enough, but even when you're going down for the block, some guys will cover their face or tuck it into their shoulder.

[Phil]

Think of it in real time. It's a risk every shot blocker takes to attempt to do so.
