A picture is worth a thousand words. That’s how the saying goes and can be applied to any photograph.
As you were getting set to click on this article, you probably saw the main picture that I used. Or maybe it’s still at the top of the article to view. In the shot, Antti Niemi is doing the full splits, extending his right leg as far as it will go to try and cover the right side of the net.
Opposite him is St. Louis Blues forward Robby Fabbri with the puck. Fabbri is quickly closing in on Niemi and is preparing to take a shot on the right side.
