I TOLD you I loved this photo set. Take a look at this picture of Pekka Rinne making a save, as Ryan Suter and David Backes jostle in front of the net. One girl is stunned by the proceedings:But... is that a "stunned" look?
Oh no. That's more "shocked". Like "David Backes did what to Ryan Suter's mama?!"I encourage photoshops and other captions for this picture going foward. I haven't even touched on the portly security guard in the picture.
