  1. I found this great shot of Conor Casey on Tumblr from the game http://johnhefti.tumblr.com/post/60803610990 Just before the Casey settles under pressure picture?

  2. Your pictures are 100% better than the game itself!!

  3. Great shots again Paul except one of the early shots showing some obviously ROWDY fans from New Jersey. Glad you were able to get them in.
