Technically it’s some kind of plastic or polymer, not real glass, otherwise the puck would’ve left a big fat spiderweb crack. Jeremy and I have seen it shatter at a San Antonio game but that was caused by a big hit on the boards by a couple players.
This particular shot on the glass is special. If it weren’t there, then the puck may have hit me in the face, chest, gut or huevos. It could’ve had an arc falling shy of me or shot way over too. We’ll never know thankfully. Everybody still flinched from the sound of the impact and a ring of water was left behind for me to photograph.
