How could it be any better? Photography, Hockey, 11/11/11, Veterans Day! This was the case last Friday. I was able to photograph the Edmonton Oilers as they took on the Detroit Red Wings at the Joe Louis Arena in downtown Detroit. To add to the great day, Jimmy Howard had his third shutout of the season. Below are a few images from the game and be sure to check out more by clicking here.
