CRANBERRY, Pa. -- There's no "right" way to tape a hockey stick.
You can go from the heel to the toe, or toe to the heel. You can use black tape, white tape, a mix of the two, or something completely different. Usually, players will cover most of the blade when taping their stick. Some players like to mix it up.
Looking around the Penguins' locker room, nobody on the current NHL roster does anything too unusual when taping their stick. I asked a couple of guys in the locker room about the weirdest or most interesting tape job they've seen, be it on their own team or from an opponent.
