My Top 5 Favorite Non-Thrasher Goalie Pics of 2009

The Thrashers aren't in town and instead of letting the blog die for another week, I thought I'd do some count downs with my pictures. Too bad I didn't have this fabulous idea a week ago, but oh well. I have a few ideas for the rest of the year and maybe a bit past.




I love taking pictures. I love goalies. Of course I LOVE taking pictures of goalies. I adore goalies anyway, but they are much more still and easy to photograph. Plus they have the cool masks. They are just cool and I love them. I tried to make the count down on pictures I actually liked as opposed to how much I like said goalie in the picture. I'm not saying these pictures are great or are my best, they are just my favorites for one weird reason or another. So on with the useless countdown.




5. They Habbity Hop. I was super excited to see Khabibulin when he came through Blueland this February. I didn't get him in mid air, but he does this squat-jump thing that is quite fun to watch.





4. The Nabby Stare Down. My husband and I went up to Nashville in March to see the Predators take on the San Jose Sharks. I love this picture because Nabby looks like he wants to murder someone.





3. The Animated Little French Canadian, Martin Biron. When the Flyers came through in February, I couldn't wait to take pictures of Biron. I have so many great pictures of him where you can see his beautiful eyes, but I like this one because it kind of shows his chatty, animated personality. He was very into his conversation and waving his glove around.





2. Puck Handling Brodeur. My husband and I made the 6 hour road trip to Raleigh, SC to see game 6 of the series between the New Jersey Devils and the Carolina Hurricanes. Marty wasn't his usual smiley self, he was very intense as shown in this picture. Of course that intensity didn't do a whole hell of a lot, they lost the game and went on to lose the series, but hey...I love this picture.





1. DUH! It's me and Flower! How can this not be Number 1? I'm in the picture with one of my very favorite goalies, Marc-Andre Fleury. Go Flower!


Let me know how you like the countdown idea. Let me know if you have any ideas or requests!
