dont get caught up in the swings of this negotiation.
It will be over one day, even if its not when we all want it to be.
But when its over, hockey will still be awesome.

Remove yourself from the emotional highs and lows, and just know and understand that what is happening is part of the ugly side of negotiations. Its unfortunate that fans, and die hard fans, get brought along for the ride.

everyday that passes gets us one day closer to the finish line - and although some days feel like they are moving backwards, by definition, everyday is a step closer. unfortunately we have no idea where the end is, so no need to get to worried about it.
