Todd Bertuzzi had a close call on Tuesday when he was hit in the eye by a stick, but that hasn't convinced him to wear a visor. Bertuzzi escaped the incident without a significant injury, but he admitted it was initially scary. Eye injuries or close calls have led to other players wearing visors, but Bertuzzi didn't have one on for Thursday's practice. "It's a personal decision," Bertuzzi said. "I don't ask you what pencil you like to use. I'm not trying to be a jerk. It's just the way it is. It's our office and we wear what we wear. Everybody wears different shoulder pads, different helmets and gloves, and all that."
