NHL puts forth a CBA proposal. NHLPA puts forth a counter proposal. NHL immediately rejects said counter proposal, followed by three months of random meetings in NYC or Toronto with little apparent progress. Now the process is starting over once again. Wake me up in January for another ring around the rosie that will undoubtedly end in ashes as the 2012-13 season is canceled in full while the poor journalist souls who've chased this non-story fall down from exhaustion.

So what are you all doing to keep yourselves busy this winter?
