The Versus [drinking] Game of the Week: Philadelphia at Pittsburgh

So I’m moving this week. Tuesday, to be exact. Have you ever helped anyone move? Probably, but only if there was beer involved, am I right? So, to accomodate my volunteers, I will also be providing the beer necessary for this weeks drinking game, played while sitting on boxes at my new place.

The game in question will be the Flyers and Penguins. Have you noticed that there is a proliferation of Pittsburgh fans pretty much anywhere you go? Not just the Penguins either, steelers and even the stray Pirates fans. Why is this? Are people that in love with black and gold? Are former residents that nostalgic for their former home town team? I think I have a conclusion. Western Pennsylvania sucks and people from there have scattered across the country. But hey, the teams are pretty good, so why not keep cheering for them?

DRINK

… for every answer you get wrong on this quiz. Thrice if the town is mentioned during the telecast.

… if you contemplate why the Wild never made any cup runs when THEY had Pascal Dupuis and Martin Skoula.

… if Eric Lindros is at all mentioned. 8 times, once for every concussion, if the mention relates to head injuries.

… if any terrorist plots are thwarted in the rafters of Mellon Arena. But ONLY if they are thwarted.
