Outdoor Skating in Downtown Pittsburgh, originally uploaded by Tapeleg.

The ice is nice in downtown Pittsburgh today, after warm weather turned the rink into soup last week. This just makes me miss the rink [...]

Skating in Downtown Detroit, originally uploaded by Tapeleg.

Edit:  There was supposed to be a picture and a little note sent with this post, but the internet lost it.  Still, a great game tonight, where I got only a few photos, but did get the first goal of the game and the ensuing Teddy Bear Toss on my camera in video.  Now I [...]

Port Huron, originally uploaded by Tapeleg.

Taking in a game in Port Huron tonight. Last time I was here, the team was called the Flags, and were part of the UHL.

There is a whole post waiting to be written about the new jerseys and how they are taking to being fought in. There have been quotes galore from the various tough guys around the league, and it seems that the new jerseys were not properly beta tested in the fine art of fisticuffs. [...]

Game tied at 2. Right off the bat, the Avs score. Healey held the puck, waiting for the defender to get back up from laying out the body, and fires it in.

Michael Wall came in for Budaj, and promptly let in a goal. Hey, what can you do? Another fight lost [...]

Tied up at one, the game is the heavy hitters of the Stars versus the lower tier Avs and the AHL bound player. Still, players like Liles and Lappy are holding their own, and playing like the game matters. Budaj looks pretty good. More after the next period.
