The Versus [drinking] Game of the Week: Boston at New Jersey

This post was written entirely last night, then I forgot to publish, and it went off to the abyss of the internet. Disgusting. But I did want to jump in here and rewrite it since I missed last week’s opportunity for a drinking game.

Boston fans and people from New Jersey will have the most vested interest in tonight’s game. If my Midwestern stereotypes are correct, then that pits two of New Yorks most hated groups against each other. So long as one of these teams loses, they’ll be happy. Neither team is in first place this season, and Bostonians might even label the Bruins a disappointment this season, as they sit 4th in the Northeast. They do have a hold on the 8th spot in the East though, only one point ahead of the Rangers. I guess that could make New Yorkers happy. Even better news is that the Devils have a brand new Kovalchuck to bandy about in their efforts to defeat the B’s.

Wait, what am I doing? You didn’t come here for game analysis, you came here for a drinking game.

DRINK

…any time Pierre-Luc Letourneau-Leblond is simply referred to as “#22”. That guy’s got hyphens like I got paternity suits.

… if Vanna White is referenced in any attempt to make a Travis Zajac joke. And let me tell you, there are a TON of Travis Zajak jokes out there. I won’t list them for brevity’s sake.

… if new Devils acquisition Martin Skoula looks lost on the ice. It’s not because he is still learning the system. He ALWAYS looks lost on the ice.

… if any Bruins fans lament the fact that Dennis Seidenberg hasn’t scored any goals since coming over in a deadline trade. Never mind that he is a defenseman or has 3 points in 6 games.

Drinking player of the week: Andy Greene

– A native of Detroit, he often gets asked if his personality is “more Eminem or Kid Rock”. He doesn’t have an answer to that, because he is more Smokey Robinson.

– He isn’t afraid to poop right there in his breezers.

– Andy thinks the extra E at the end of his surname will make people think “panache”. And they do, as panache also ends with a silent E.
