The puck has officially dropped on the second season of Rush hockey and at the moment we are without slideshows as we tweak the new website so I thought I would share some outtakes and favorite images of the 2 week old season. There are roughly 21 images here which is a lot but again no slideshows means long blogs.

King helps a Sundog onto the bench. I wish I would have caught this whole sequence as Kinger first checked the kid into the bench and when he didn’t go all the way over he helped him by grabbing his feet and sending him the rest of the way over.

It’s too bad we lost Brown in goal but Batman was impressive in his first start, very entertaining to watch. I hope to make an image in his next start at home diving and making a save.

But Migs of course is a stud between the pipes and with the added defense the Rush have this year hopefully he won’t have as many shots on goal as he faced last year.

Last year I said I wanted a fight from the rafters. It never materialized but I got my chance the third game into the season this year. I got so excited I shot through my buffer on my Mark III, which left me barely able to make more than one or two images at a time and that is why King’s fist is not in the kids face. Good first fight for King, totally destroying this kid. It was impressive and left no doubt in my mind why King was voted best fighter last year.

I can’t remember if this scooted by Batman or not. I do believe it was during that horrible second period against the Sundogs when they scored three goals in just over a minute or so.

This is how you win in overtime. King feeds it to Wray who finds the twine for the winner 1:15 into overtime. Capping off a two goal comeback with 2:38 left in the third. Exciting game.

One thing I wanted last year was the stick bending on the ice on a slapshot. Mission accomplished.

Nice belly bump on the glass following a scrum behind the net. Probably one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen at a game.

Wray exiting the ice after scoring two goals in roughly two minutes to cap a three goal overtime win against the Sundogs.
