So I dont normally try to shoot these. Honestly never really thought to but I think I may make it a point. It was the first home game friday and I spent most of it making a large collection of "safe photos" nice single shots of players, so when a story is done and I dont have a photo of x player, scoring x goal at X game, I at least have the generic shot.

I know my stick doesnt bend like that when I do my slappah. (side note in my game today 1g, 2A and one penalty. I went to the box and I felt shame)

    Cool shot. Nice timing. Sounds like you had a good day on the ice as well.

    Nice capture! I'm always amazed at these types of pics. Ever see shots of a tennis ball striking a tennis raquet at high velocity?

    BTW, never feel shame about the box!!mwink.gif
