NHL CBA 2012 Nightmare Scenarios: What Would We Do?

Things don't look very good on the CBA front. The owners have issued their opening salvo, and from one report, the belief there is going to be a season at all may be waning. We are still holding out hope that the two sides can figure this out, and we get to watch and talk about hockey. Yet, we also owe all of you the service of planning ahead for any contingency.

With the idea that we may have a boat load of time on our hands, we will need something to do and something to talk about. Keep in mind, we are up against record traffic numbers, so we can't just fold up shop for the season. We're going to need some high powered story lines to follow while we mourn the (potential) loss of the season.

Join us as we explore some ideas of things to do and stories to write. Submit your own in the comment section!
