Shame about the lockout, really. I'm done with optimism, but it's why the owners know fans will be back. Anytime you see a TSN or ESPN insider claiming there's new talks being done or a new offer in the Twitter and other social networks exploded with optimism that the season will be saved. It's why the owners know they have us.
Personally, I'll still watch my Penguins on TV, but I don't plan on buying tickets or merch for quite a while.
As for what hockey I've been watching, it's been pretty simple. The 19th ranked Robert Morris University Colonials play within walking distant of my apartment, so there's that to watch quite frequently. There's the SUPERSTAR Connor McDavid playing less than 2 hours away for the Erie Otters of the OHL. And on weekends when I'm up early, I'll try to watch a KHL game or two. Of course, right now the World Junior Championships are on, so that's been an absolute blast to watch. I haven't been down to West Virginia yet, but there's an ECHL team very close, as well, down there.
While I'm sad that NHL is probably not going to be played unless a miracle happens and pettiness is put aside in the next few days, I've had plenty of solid hockey to watch.
