I just wanted to comment on the first one where it looks like Rolo may be taunting Bergeron. Rolo also might be trying to force a faceoff. Most refs will give the goalie the opportunity to play the puck in a game situation where the goalie wants to keep the play moving or towards the very end of a period to avoid a faceoff. Alternatively if Rolo knows his guys are tired or prefers a faceoff, after he's gloved the puck he can put it in proximity of the opposing team (which your pic is a perfect example of) and essentially communicates to the ref to blow the whistle. From the forward's perspective, this is also part of why coaches tell the players to follow their shots and drive to the net (to force a faceoff in that zone). Just a tidbit for learning goalies, enough of my rant ... ;-) Great pics, Scott … keep ‘em coming! I just wanted to comment on the first one where it looks like Rolo may be taunting Bergeron.
