Halo and COD are definitely getting some love from me

NHL 13

Work

NHL 13

Day dreaming about the Rangers

Football, and more football.

I really miss Rangers hockey...

NFL, NBA, college football and now college basketball as well. Plenty of sports to keep up.

When that's said I'm expecting a son within two weeks, so I guess the sleeping days are over soon

That's horrible timing!

I studied when I got my first kid, and "took every night" during the hockey season.

Ah well.. I'm on my final part time year though. Only a 25 page final paper to deliver in May and an oral exam and I'm done in May... Lockout might be a blessing in disguise

But again... I would sacrifice some hours sleep for it... Most def

MLS soccer and EPl soccer and USA soccer with a splash of German soccer along with college hockey and the KHL.

And tons of Assassins creed 3!

I've hardly missed it. I can't wait for it to be back, but I've hardly missed it. There are plenty of other things to keep me occupied.

qwertyaas · 11-13-2012, 11:51 AM

Want it to start but I almost feel like I don't care any more. Screw that circus they built.

**we want cup** · 11-13-2012, 12:14 PM

Getting the new Call of Duty today should help for a while.

ditto... NHL 13, Madden 13, finally upgrading my garage in Forza 4.

Xbox and actually not blowing women off for Ranger games.

ChipAyten · 11-13-2012, 03:27 PM

Enjoying QMJHL and KHL matches. It's nice not having emotion attached to any of the teams.

StaalWars · 11-13-2012, 07:23 PM

I gotta say, it is starting to get to me. I held strong up until this point but I just want to watch the Rangers now.

WhipNash27 · 11-14-2012, 08:47 AM

Yesterday the Rangers would have played the Islanders

Fitzy · 11-14-2012, 09:57 AM

I've gotten to watch every SLU game this year and am watching two players, Kyle Flanagan and Greg Carey chase the Hobey Baker.

Still hope we're back in November though. RBNY season ended and Giants are in a bye week so its sports withdrawal for an addict.

**JCresty** · 11-14-2012, 10:04 AM

Vacation starts tomorrow so that'll help! In NYC mid-Dec so hopefully we're up and running by then...

Don't hold your breath.

I am building up sweat equity by watching as many Real Housewives / Flipping Out / The Middle shows as possible so that when they DO GET BACK to playing, I will not have to worry about hearing BOO from the wife when I am watching hockey EVERY NIGHT FROM THE MOMENT THE PUCK DROPS TO THE FINAL BUZZER OF THE STANLEY CUP FINALS.

Haha this is the most productive use of time I've seen yet.

WhipNash27 · 11-14-2012, 12:20 PM

I've been exercising much more.

The Perfect Paradox · 11-14-2012, 12:29 PM

NFL, video games, reading (for leisure) and spending some extra time on school work is definitely eating up my free time.

ChipAyten · 11-14-2012, 03:39 PM

Between the F1 season coming to what is expected to be a climactic close & the US Grand Prix this weekend, the EPL, the Knicks and broadway's busy season I've other things to do.

JDMSG · 11-14-2012, 03:55 PM

Call of duty and the NFL/Fantasy football helps to soften the blow.

kovazub94 · 11-14-2012, 04:12 PM

Chelsea FC!

GregNYR19 · 11-14-2012, 11:21 PM

its so bad for me that im numb. i checked every day for something new but ive already decided that we are going to lose the season so i am carrying on as if it were any offseason. while the thought of the letters "NHL" words: bettman, daly, fear, owners, players, no matter what context used in, makes my blood literally boil. im absolutely furious and disgusted. as a die hard hockey fan, its easy to say i will return once the puck is dropped but i hope the league suffers and feels the pain. my coping unfortunately has been just plain made with no outlet to vent. of all years, the year we finally have a shot.....that makes me the most mad. i assure everyone gary bettman will walk into NHL ice and the boos while the stanley cup is presented (whenever that is) will blow the roof off the place. and im excited for that
