This made me smile. Hockey can't come back soon enough.
So, from the raising of the Stanley Cup on June 12, until the first preseason NHL game on September 15 — TODAY is the halfway mark! Can we see that light at the end of the tunnel yet?
Tired of watching baseball and golf already?

I hear ya. This is especially the dark ages for me since the Tour de France just ended. That is always 4-5 hours a day for most of July. So now what the hell do I watch? Baseball? Preseason football? Hard pass. At least I have auto racing on the weekends.

I did a ton of yard work this year. Re-leveled my back yard, installed weeping tile drainage, re-leveled the side yard and installed a tiled walkway, insulated/painted my garage. Also did a lot of work on improving diet and fitness. Plus I did an inaugural draft for a new league and a prospect draft for an existing league. Not to mention two different tasks for the fantasy guide. Offseason is a good thing. I love hockey but the downtime is necessary to make the games we watch more enjoyable. It's called delayed gratification!

Is it a bad thing that when picking wedding dates we settled on August, and I was thinking "that works perfectly because nothing hockey related happens around then".
Definitely good to have the summer off from watching so I get some other things done, but I am looking forward to fantasy draft season.
