Not even. Manny was neither a tough guy/enforcer, or yapper so.......
It all just goes back to comfort > safety. Just like disregarding safety, it's better to play with no helmet > helmet > helmet + half visor > helmet + full shield. Hell, I bet if full equipment wasn't a league mandate, you'd get a handful of NHLers that would play w/o shoulder pads.
To say that it's an inner culture unwritten rule thing that one abides by is nothing but a pure justificational reach.
