Game Action Pix vs. Columbus
Florida Panthers vs. Columbus Blue Jackets, 3/21/09. Faceoff battle.
Saturday’s game versus the Columbus Blue Jackets was an action packed contest and looking at pictures from after the game – you can’t help but wonder how the Cats ever managed to lose this game. So many spurned opportunities…
Nonetheless, here are ten action pictures from the game.
Nick Tarnasky drives at net and sets the stage for the first goal.
Rostislav Olesz is first to the free puck in the crease and puts his stick to it - and Florida are up: 1-0!
Board-battles and hussle-tussle hockey.
Richard Zednik makes a wrap-around attempt on Mason who makes the the pad save.
Tomas Vokoun blocks a Columbus shot and keeps the Panthers' slender 1-0 lead intact, throughout the second period.
Getting close...
...gettin' closer (but not close enough).
How can it be so hard to score??
Tomas Vokoun pokes away a Blue Jackets attempt around the net and the defense is close by in support. However, a late collapse by that same defense would spoil the day for the Cats and a 1-0 lead with three minutes remaining is reversed to a 1-3 mishap of giant playoff proportions.
Those are great pictures!!!
Gee… I wonder who took them!
