No Hockey do now what do we do?

Hey pens fans,
There is still no news on the lockout and I am not sure when there will be. So what do we do to fill the void left by there being no hockey to watch? If you need a hockey fix, why not check out an AHL, ECHL, or college team? Maybe find another sport to watch, but its just not the same and nothing can replace hockey to the truely loyal fans. Perhaps take up reading books on hockey or any book, though it is still not the same. I have yet to find anything to replace hockey in my life. Imiss it, but I am filling the time. I am filling some of it with this blog and more with other things like books and music, but how long will it be until the fans replace NHL hockey entirely? The longer it takes to reach an agreement the harder it will be to keep the fans. Great hockey towns like Toronto, Montreal, and Boston will be fine, but the smaller markets where hockey is not the premire sport will suffer. Will Pittsburgh retain its fans? I know they will have at least one and that is me. At times I am even losing faith in the league. Who else thinks the league and the players' association need to pay more attention to the fans? I know they are the professionals, but we love the game too. Maybe some of our ideas aren't so bad? They obviously haven't come up with anything stellar. They need to try something new or just hammer it out, but I feel they are almost at the point of no return. Please send me your comments.
