SDS Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 That is Andrew hustling back from his own end to stop the breakaway with a diving sweep check. This was in between periods at the Caps game tonight. I took the picture from the bench. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDS Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 picture 10 is the best! he executed that sweep check perfectly! That one came out a little blurry. I have about 10 shots of the whole sequence. I saw the breakaway develop, but then out of the corner of my eye I saw my son booking down the ice. I thought he had a good chance to catch him, so I just kept shooting. The shot after 10 has the puck sitting next to the boy's skate after the attempted shot whiffed. How about the positional play in #3 and #4? :lol: It's like the British Army in the Revolutionary War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got 135mm f/2.0 before the day before and it really helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobody Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Did the kid with the white helmet steal the puck from his team mate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 How old is your son, SDS? The sweep check seems to be far out of the context of the level of play I am discerning from the photos. Might be a special kid, who knows? Just don't become one of Bucky's hockey parents. Actually a pretty good column by the Buckster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDS Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 How old is your son, SDS? The sweep check seems to be far out of the context of the level of play I am discerning from the photos. Might be a special kid, who knows? Just don't become one of Bucky's hockey parents. Actually a pretty good column by the Buckster. He is 8 and most of the kids are younger than that. He's the only one on the team that will dive on defense to stop a shot. I've never seen any of the other kids do that, but he likes to do it regularly when back checking. I read Bucky's column. It was actually sent to an email list by the owner of our rink. It was well written. Andrew has no future in hockey other than whatever joy he takes out of playing the game at the moment. He's too small, and does not exhibit enough interest, but he likes to play games on a house league level. and that is just fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted January 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Did the kid with the white helmet steal the puck from his team mate? No. The other kid normally does the "stealing". :lol: He fell down trying though! I have a series of shots between that one and the dive that have him falling and Andrew stepping around him to poke it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Good lookin' kid. All I can say is "thank God" your wife jumped into the gene pool! Seriously, though. Good pics. Looks like Andrew has heart. And you just can't coach that. You are a lucky man indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vasabresfan Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 Thanks for sharing. Great pics. I was just reminiscing with a buddy of mine back in Buffalo about getting to play at the Aud, which we both got to do. It's something that you never forget, even thirty years later.
