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.

Craggs came back in and said there was a hawk outside, looking at the rats. He was flustered, because Craggs does not do well with nature.

Johnny Boychuk's Austrian Team Only Gave Him Red Bull To Drink
As NHL players return to North America—those who aren't claiming asylum to escape the Islanders regime, anyway—they're being set upon by their neglected beat writers, and sharing some strange stories of their sabbaticals.
