Probably throwing darts at Bettman's rather large melon.

Exact same things I'd be doing if the NHL was on, minus watching the NHL.

Pretty much, yeah. Just without waiting for the game to be over before going out.

Me and a few of my buddies are starting to make hockey videos. The 1st one was 'what if hockey superstitions carried over to the office'. We finished shooting the 2nd one 'The Slap Chop for hockey - THE SKATE CHOP'. Today we are going to shoot a 10 minute 'Hotstove' style commentary on current hockey news and see if it works at all, next week we are shooting a video called 'A Day in the life of a hockey fanatic'.
When we start putting them on Youtube I will let you all know. We are industry professionals and not actors but I think if we can do a few more of these we will be able to pull them off.
One I want to do is 'how to deal with obnoxious hockey moms' which when they get screaming at the kids and refs would include propping a fog/air horn infront of her and adding the horn sound in post totally over powering her (ofcourse with a fan off screen blowing her hair back as well), spraying her in the face with aluminum or something that would coat her throat, maybe a 3rd scene covering her nose and mouth a cloth dosed in 'mom be quiet' juice (yeah Chloroform) and then having the relieved families using the slouched body as a table for coffee, popcorn, etc with everyone finally smiling around her.

spending more time with my kids, watching movies with the wife, studying for a license/certification I've been planning to take for a while and eventually will be going to OHL games since I can take the kids (mid-day weekend games are great) and not go bankrupt.
Geez... maybe life is better without hockey?!?!? Wait............

Yeah, me too. I have a new hobby/obsession though which I'll continue to pursue. This totally goes against my efforts to cut as much sugar out of my diet as I can but I was recently turned on to rum as something not just for mixing. I've always been kind of a 'beer guy' as far as my adult beverages go. I've enjoyed the odd vodka and bourbon but as a rule, finer spirits (including some well regarded scotches) have by in large been lost one me. I never gave finer rums a chance but I was recently exposed to just a fantastic sipper and for me, it was like the Blues Brothers when Jake found God in the church.
Now I'm on a rum mission
I've spent the last couple of months reading and researching rum (I know, weird right?) and I'm working towards building and maintaining a small collection. I'm eager to sample as much as I can (responsibly of course 
) and one day soon, be able to speak somewhat intelligently with others who feel the same way I do about this delicious stuff.

If it wouldn't have involved so many people we would have had a ref go to the time keeper and get a 'anti-annoying mom' puck with electronics under a cover that he closes. As the annoying hockey mom is screaming shoot we have a kid let it rip and the puck would boomerang like a heat seeking missile and nail her in the head knocking her out causing the kids on the ice, the coaches, the officials and the parents in the stands all start cheering.

HaHaHa that's awesome. My mom was a yeller. The only way to stop her was to ban her from leaving the lobby. She had to watch through the glass
