Gabby Shirley of Bally Sports was at Amalie Arena yesterday to witness the beginnings of the new ice being laid down at the rink. She documented the steps required to make the perfect sheet of ice for the Tampa Bay Lightning each season. Go check out her Twitter feed for the whole process, including mixing paint and “zamboni-ing” it on the ice.
I have to head over to the TGH Ice Plex for a shoot but I asked for the remaining steps: pic.twitter.com/1GZkmEprxP

This was a cool podcast episode to listen to as Elliotte and Jeff catch up with Pierre-Edouard Bellemare in Paris, France, and Victor Hedman in Sweden.
