The layout took a while. Between looking through my take, computer freezing and crashing a few times, I FINALLY came up with this. Not the best, but something I can live with on deadline. I was fortunate to have a full page. Blank. Nothing but what I decided to throw on there, but I felt it still lacked something. I almost went with just 3 photos and think it may have been stronger if I did. Full page, 3 photos, awesome. Why fill the space just because you can? The front page went with a shot that was 'behind the scenes' ish, so I didn't want to repeat that on this page, but I feel that was an area of content the page was lacking. I felt the lede overall touched on the action, and everyone knows what hockey looks like so why bother showing an action shot. I had some action shots, but maybe only two shots that were unique enough to consider for the page. I didn't feel they rose to the level of the rest of the images, so I left them off. The top image was a last minute addition but a detail I thought worked.

i loved that first photo. it's very graphically cool, but also shows you a perspective you wouldn't normally see, and helps people understand how these games are going on. i liked it a lot. ;)
The overview shot is awesome. Way to make that happen!
