Thursday Morning Riddle

I’m a violent attack in an ice hockey rink;
I’m an energy bar; or an energy drink;
How a sniper can kill when precisely in sync;
And an actor’s best photo, so try not to blink.

Who am I?

UPDATE: Riddle solved by DeLisa. See comments for answer.

    This is a tough one, but I’m going with slapshot.

    Headshot?

    Argh… I should’ve gone with my first instinct.

    I’d like to second the vote for head shot. What say you, Bill?

    HEADSHOT is correct. Way to go, DeLisa!

    Shot and Slapshot are good guesses, but do not fit all of the clues.

    (It’s also an independent 2007 film – anagram below)

    “HEADSHOT”, starring Marcelo Marcondes, with Charlie Meany, won’t play in any known theater I sit in. It can only bring an investor or sly bookkeeper a penny coin in kickback.

    (P.S. Please let me know if these anagrams distract from the aim of your weekly riddles.)

    Dharam, I always enjoy your anagrams and do not think they distract from the aim of the riddles at all.

    They also remind me of how negligent I’ve been with the blog, as I used to do a weekly anagram based on quotes from Shakespeare.

    When I start that up again, you may find it more interesting to anagram the same passage that I do, as you did with my most recent attempt. Until then, check out the archives and see if anything inspires you.
