A little late this week – but here it is. This shot really hit home for me. The guys we all look up to, the ones that we and the press expect so much of, are regular human beings. Stanley cups might be on the line, but when you get right down to it they play the game for the same reason that we do. Brodeur is just plain having fun in this shot.

Photographer Dave Lieberman writes:

“I was working as a professional news/event photographer for several papers in the New York City and Long Island area. But I showed up to the New Jersey Devils practice arena looking to get some shots of my favorite team simply as a fan. I grew up in the next town over and had even played youth hockey at the very same rink. This is my favorite shot from that day.”
