Aeros-Stars -- The Texas Goal (Photo)

Okay, I've been trying to load several photos for a good long time now, and I'm tired, and want to go to bed, so...

Here is the Texas goal in the first period that gave the Stars the brief 1-0 lead. The goal was credited to Texas's Michael Neal. At the time, I thought Matt Hackett had actually stopped the shot and that he was sitting on the puck. However, looking at the photos of the sequence, I saw the puck in the back of the net.

That's not the interesting thing to me here, and I'm posting these two photos because they are in the middle of the goal scoring sequence, and immediately follow each other. If you'll look closely at the first photo, and I think there's a way to blow it up and expand it in Google, you'll note that the puck is actually on Max Noreau's stick.

And in the second photo, you'll note that the puck is behind Hackett, on the ice, in the net, and just barely visible -- check between Neal's legs. Now I'm not sure of my shutter speeds -- I did what Mr. Fred told me to do -- so it's possible between clicks that somebody else got a stick on the puck, but it appears in the photos that Noreau actually knocked it in.


I did get a photo of Casey Wellman's first period goal, but it was really from a distance, and you can't really see anything, and I didn't get Robbie Earl's second period goal or Jon DiSalvatore's empty-netter. I did get some Gordie Howe on the puck drop, and some photos of the fight, so I'll try to get those up later.
