AnirudhaKnock His Head Off!
Hockey is a tough sport, and it’s only natural that tempers sometimes flare over what happens on the ice. However, it’s a little extreme to knock your opponent’s head completely off during a tussle, which is what appears to have happened here. This photo is so brilliantly timed that the Canadian player’s helmet is even facing in the proper direction and at the right height! This may be the “Mona Lisa” of perfectly timed sports photos. The audience also has some great expressions going on.
