Phrases like “close call” and “near miss” are often overused — but in this case they almost feel like an understatement.

On Monday night, the Columbus Blue Jackets took on Tampa Bay Lightning in the NHL.

Commentating on the game was Pierre McGuire, who at one point came within roughly two inches of a rogue puck shearing off his glasses.

Yikes.

Also, kudos to the person behind the camera for their unflinching dedication to the job.
