Best Hockey Photos in History

This is one of my favorites. Chara looks like a psychopath with that look on his face. Smith is standing there thinking about all his life choices and about to shit his pants. The reaction of the guy in the background just makes it that much better.

Bryan Trottier with the cup over his head sliding on the tarp at old Three Rivers is up there also.

What’s the significance of the years on the star patches on the sleeves?

There is a similar pic of a Ducks player, maybe Selanne, where his pose mirrors the logo on the Anaheim jersey he’s wearing — with the duck jumping through the ice with both hands raised… anyone know what I’m talking about?

Found it..

Can't believe this hasn't been posted. Very symbolic goal as well since it was the tying goal in our historic 0-5 comeback.

Little did anyone know how great of a player this lanky, bloodied, long haired kid would be.

It was taken during the 1993 Stanley Cup finals.

Gretzky and the Kings against Roy and the Canadiens. Roy had been playing on another level all playoffs and stepped it up even more in the finals after losing game 1.

After a save on Sandstrom in game 4, Patrick gave this infamous wink. He did it in a way to say “you’re not beating me”. He was right, Montreal went on to win the cup in 5 games and Roy won the Conn Smythe.

Kind of a "passing of the torch" moment IMO

He was such a gimmick prospect at the time. His career arc was pretty crazy after that.

And is the reason teams draft tall every year...just maybe they will be the next Chara.
