Here's a shot inspired by those old hockey images from the 1980s - the aerial "behind the net" view. I was originally reluctant to shoot from here because I thought the protective netting interfere with the photo. But looking at it now, it's really not that bad for a novelty type of shot. In the old days before the protective netting you could get a cleaner shot. Although I can't imagine today's game - so much faster and harder - without it. In this photo, Paul Stastny of the Winnipeg Jets finds himself all alone, deep in oil country, trying to sneak in a backhand shot on Edmonton Oilers goaltender Mikko Koskinen. #hockey #hockeyphotography #hockeyphotographer #NHL #nhljets #Winnipeg #Jets #Stastny #behindthenet #goaliesave #oilers #backhand #aerialphotography
