NHL Frozen in Time: Admiring the Pass

Jackets starter Curtis McElhinney falls in the crease and hurts himself, Anton Forsberg replaces McElhinney and falls in the same spot.

In hockey, if one stops and admires their pass, it typically doesn’t end well.

There isn’t any time to slow down or think about what’s transpired – the game moves so fast that it’s actually dangerous to come to a halt.

But photos…photos make you stop and think. Take your time with these pucks, frozen in time.
