The Bruins at the Red Wings qualifies as a marquee matchup in the NHL. Detroit and Boston. You couldn’t ask for more different cities, either. At least in New York-Boston rivalries its a pair of cosmopolitan East Coast cities. Detroit is at the fringe of the Rust Belt and is noted for producing Kid Rock and Eminem. No matter how much we try, even though these two teams are excellent, I don’t think we are going to develop a rivalry between the two cities, no matter how hard we try. You know, though, some people who drink too much sometimes get a little chippy. The goal of this drinking game is to start some fistfights. Let’s get punchy!
DRINK
… until the pain stops if conversation about what a “Bruin” is veers into uncomfortable revelatons about an affinity for Bears
… if announcers get confused into thinking it’s some year from the past. Say they mention Thornton or Kessel on the Bruins or Lidstrom or Draper on the Wings.
… while trying to think of anyone named Cam that isn’t a hockey player or from Boston. Drink thrice if you can think of someone.
… for every octopus tentacle a comely Red Wings fan is seen teasing. If you know what I mean
