A drinking game for the Playoffs

This post could also be labeled “thing for the Florida Panthers to do”, but then I remembered they are in Florida, and could probably just go outside or to the beach. I almost named it “something for Wild, Islander, Maple Leaf or Hurricane fans to do”, but judging the sample size of 4 blog writers here, we need no excuse to watch hockey, or to go on a bender. That said, here are a few rules to drink by, should that be your bag.

DRINK

…. for ever octave Doc Emrick goes above his typical volume.

…. every time the Rangers are mentioned. especially if they are mentioned more than the Predators or Coyotes (I feel like I am close to making my East Coast bias point… some day).

…. every time there is a beer commercial, or any alcohol reference by the announcer. For fun, go for whatever brand is being advertised. This could get dangerous, if you do a shot every time they say “shot”.

….every time the phrase “Stanley Cup Playoffs” is uttered. An old classic

Special side drinking game!

You and your friends, if you have any, each come up with a story line. Every time your story line is mentioned, that means the others have to drink. Let’s say, for example, Kevin, LD, Dave and I are all hanging out. My story line is “Crosby vs Ovechkin”, Kevins is “the Hossa curse”, LD is ” Hey, the Sedin’s are brothers!”, and Dave’s is “Steve Begin’s thoughts on the Monroe Doctrine”, So, every time Pierre Maguire talks about Steve Begin’s personal policy on US military deployment in Cameroon, Kevin, LD and myself have a nip. Get it? Good. Throw out some ideas in los commentarios. Happy playoffs!
