Great shots. Professional stuff you've got there - well done.

BTW - I see a Maple Leafs' jersey in the background on both shots 2 &3....gotta love that Blue 'n' White....Leafs' Nation alive and well in the UK...it begins for real tonight at home.

It was odd both games pretty much sold out and neither of them a "Big 6" team...can you imagine the clamour for tickets for Rangers V Flyers etc....LOL?

....or NYR - NYI, Det - Col, Tor- Mont, of course the Ducks are defending champs.

Maybe a novelty? You'd know better being there. Cheers.

Im a 25 year hockey fan, Ducks are Champs no question and bring the cup over was great but, It still never felt like it was the top teams. That said the natives were happy and talk of more games here made them happier...its a awesome building for hockey!

Wow - very nice stuff. #1 is actually Derek Armstrong. I met him a few years ago. He used to play minor league hockey with the guy that lived next door to my sister.

All good pictures, the arena shots look great. It's nice to see them as it gives us none locals an idea of the playing arena.

Hmm.. I see a Wing'sjersey just a couple seats over in the same shot... :p

My favorite is the shot of Armstrong. I like his expression and the timing, although I think it could benefit from a tiny bit of sharpening.

Thanks guys

Yes I had a Press Pass, but shot through the glass as UK health and safety wouldnt allow for holes to be cut. I changed the picture caption to Derek Armstrong.

I like to leave my pics as "aux natural" as possible, I try desperately hard to get it right first time. Shot through the glass always gives soft images, often some of the work on here are so p&p I doubt theres much left of the image file!

Just my view

Thanks for the comments
