Best picture of 2008?

[kevinsmithAZ]

Looking for the best picture from the inline hockey world taken in 2008. Could be from a game, but doesn't have to be. Really looking for something special. Post pictures or email them to [email protected]

March 2 - Blake Propp, Adam Clarke, PJ Tallo, and Andy Meade after Propp scored on the power play to give UMSL a 4-2 lead over Lindenwood in the third period of the streak-breaking victory. They all turn and look up at the scoreboard at the exact same moment. That was the first time LU had trailed by two in the third period since their last loss (November 2004).

Matt Johnson was the photographer (mattjphoto.com).

The background is interesting too. You can see James Wetton (in the red shirt, our former captain and career scoring leader) smiling and applauding. And that's my dad (and Ben's) in the white hat (he's kind of hidden behind GPCIHL statmaster Jaime P., but that's him), running around looking for someone to high-five. I'm pretty sure the gentleman in the black LU hat (far right) is Kyle Gouge's grandpa...someone correct me if I'm wrong on that.

Johnson also photographed the entire break-in leading to Tallo's game winning goal, and then the goal itself, in an amazing five- or six-shot sequence....I'll post that here too if I get time.

wow, both of those were awesome.. I really liked the first one, Tallo's goal sequence was cool too, you don't usually get to see something like that.

Shameless self promotion...

Look at me a tech geek not being able to figure out how to insert a picture into a post...

Growl vs CT Blaze in Eastern Finals

Eh, I didn't want to self-promote either but...it's not like I'm taking photos of other people's games. This is all I've got.

Game 6 of PIHA Finals - game/series winning goal with 2 minutes left. Dragons, from left to right, Tyler Koressel, Josh Laricchia, Justin Maroon, Danny Marmorstein. Goalie is still looking over his shoulder after shot went high glove.

I have far too many action shots to choose from. This falls in the "weird things caught on film at a game" category.

Not exactly from 2008, but if it's the first time you're seeing it, then yeah, sure... :rolleyes:

I'm voting for the picture of Hayden Panettiere that I posted months ago.

This one?

or this on?

Regardless, both give the same idea.
