your wife will make you make up for all those nights you watched the games as opposed to spend "quality time" with her, what ever the heck that is. Lots of extra chores, more alone time with her which sucks becuase you will have to listen to her talk about her friends and family which you dont care about let alone care to talk about. My suggestion to you is pick up a hobby to occupy you monday to saturday and watch football every sunday. I tried the whole baseball and mma thing, didnt work and I just felt cheapened afterwards. well my wife is an RN, and therefore works shifts, including nights/weekends, so getting center ice worked great, as i was able to watch plenty of hockey without disrupting the personal life. That being said, the wife's pretty cool in that she's down to watch the game.. I'm just more annoyed than anything else. I was so sure that the at least one of the NBA/NFL were going to get locked out last season, those greedy, self-centered group of players/owners got their ___ together, yet here we are, the NHL back to the lock out within 7 years. It's laughable. like i said, shame on everyone involved. If they do strike, i hope they can't cut a deal for 2-3 years and suffer the loss of income and NHL experience for that period of time.
