here we go!
First, the customary images of goalies and their star-crossed love in the handshake line:
And then some more, because I love goalies and the ESPN NHL Photo Wire loves me. (All photos AP.)
I didn't even watch this game, but the guy lying at Ward's feet, looking up at him = <3
I love this partly for the attempt to console a defeated goalie and partly for the rubber duck.
This may not be immediately visually comprehensible for non-hockey-fans: the backup goalie, wearing a baseball cap, is perched on a higher seat behind the number-one goalie, and is leaning over him. The rectangle that says REEBOK is the blocker covering his right arm; he has his hand on Hiller's shoulder.
I saved that one as goaliesandwich.
Getzlaf has cunningly located the one area of bare skin on a fully-clothed goalie.
And, ending on a note of triumph in terms of hockey and total frustration in terms of physical contact, a visored defenseman tries to hug his still fully-equipped goalie. ♥ ♥ ♥
