Is this Blake Geoffrion?

Hey,

 

I'm having trouble identifying if this is Blake Geoffrion or not, I thought it was, but now I'm not sure, any help is appreciated, thanks.

Wow, that's tough. There's no number to give a clue and the picture is taken from far away from the side.

 

I think I've narrowed it down to three.

 

1. Blake Geoffrion

2. Michael Davies

3. Derek Stepan

 

Do you know what game that's from or anything that could maybe give us a clue as to who it is? I'm almost positive it's one of those three and I would be able to tell if his face was straight on, but this is hard.

 

Edit: Do you have the original URL or did you take that picture?

Of those three, I vote Blake Geoffrion, solely based on the fact that he's raising his stick in his right hand, leading me to believe he's left handed. Both Davies and Stepan are listed as right handed, while Geoffrion is left handed.

 

In the 12 years I played hockey growing up, I don't think I ever raised my stick in my right hand (I am right handed).

I met Blake Geoffrion once, when he was at my library looking for a book. He was extremely polite. But I'm afraid that photo doesn't give quite enough face detail for me to be able to tell for sure.

thanks for the help...

 

trwi - it is a getty photo, and it lists it as blake geoffrion, after a goal that he scored, but I can't tell if it is actually him or not? and I can't find anything to see if he actually did score a goal in that game?

 

here is the link, thanks.

Image is dated Dec 1, 2007, St. Cloud State vs Wisconsin. Wisconsin won the game on Dec 1st 4-3, Geoffrion had 3 assists, including one on the game winning goal with 2:28 left in the game. Goals that game were scored by Patrick Johnson, Kyle Turris and two by Josh Engel.

 

If the photo was submitted late and was actually from the Nov. 30th game, Wisconsin won 3-2, with Geoffrion scoring the game tying goal 4:15 into 3rd period.

 

Based on this info, I'm guessing it's tagged right.

Yeah, I shoot right handed and never raise my stick with my right hand. I'm lefty for pretty much everything except batting and shooting.

 

And yeah, based on the date of the photo it's pretty much guaranteed that it's Geoffrion unless the time of the photo is wrong.
