Tyler Seguin Spent The Lockout Living In His Own Filth [UPDATE]

For most players who went to Europe during the lockout, it was just business: an opportunity to make a paycheck and stay in shape until the NHL returned.

The Consumer Electronics Show, held in Vegas every year during the second-ish week in January, is an odd duck.
