Frozen Splits

Jeff’s ready
watching the action
moving straight for him
at full speed,
fast motion

Black brick
center of attention
sliding on the blade,
stick

Winger on a breakaway
partner, line mate
in the other lane
ready for a feed

Defense falls back,
backward and off balance
caught by the speed

Trying to cut the angle
too late

He slides right to left
anticipating
But they reverse the flow
drive to the net
another pass

Splits –
Glove Save!
