A bit of a challenge for you all this morning, but one that can be nice and open as well. Let’s see some of the finest sporting photography you can find that sums up an “Ex…”

In case you’re wondering what I mean, I mean excitement, exhilaration, exhaustion, expectation, etc, etc, etc.

To kick off….
Excitement –

Tim Thomas. Really got in to watching hockey in Boston, it’s a thoroughly exciting sport!
