Five Things for Lightning Fans to do During the Olympic Break

While I do enjoy international hockey, I prefer the NHL game. With the trades being frozen, fantasy hockey being at a standstill, and our favorite Lightning players being (inexplicably) left off the rosters, we're all looking for something to do. With that in mind, here's the five things us Lightning fans can do during the break:
(In reverse order of importance)
- Keep an eye on the games, and root for your country, or our Lightning representatives.
- Take solace in the fact that for two straight weeks, the Lightning will not get outshot, will not blow early leads, will have no idiotic coaching gaffes, and will help you avoid awkward questions like “Honey, are you really yelling at the TV?” and “Why is there a remote-sized hole in the wall?”
- Make the appropriate arrangements for Jeff Vinik’s Welcome Party/Oren Koules' and Len Barrie's Get the Hell out of Here and Never Come Back Going Away Party.
- Get reacquainted with friends and family, a healthy liver, the gym, hobbies, and the normal human function that the day to day operations of the Lightning consistently prevent you from enjoying.
- Hope/Pray/Wish on a Shooting Star/Throw a Penny in the Fountain/Cross Your Fingers/Blow Out Birthday Candles/Write a Letter to Santa that this season will be the last time we ever have to deal with Rick Tocchet.
Ever....Please.
