The Versus [drinking] Game of the Week Minnesota at Chicago

The Blackhawks are getting all ready to go, ready to take on a mediocre team in the Minnesota Wild. The Wild are so bad that LD and Kevin felt comfortable with including me in their end of the season wager to see who would be the best at the end of the year. That’s right, the Wild minus Marian Gaborik and Jacques Lemaire are as bad as the Islanders or Maple Leafs. They are 2-6 with over time wins in their two home games, while getting pummeled 6 times on the road. The drinking game of the week will be good, because I know Minnesota definitely makes ME want to drink. (video first seen on With Leather)

DRINK

… every time video of Martin Havlat in a ‘Hawks jersey is shown.

… if the announcers try to convince you that the Wild are better than their record. They aren’t. If possible, they are worse. They really should be 0-8.

… once for every dime he was short in that cab when Patrick Kane touches the puck.

… if Martin Havlat’s groin injury problems are compared to Marian Gaborik’s. Hell, just take a drink if they talk about anyone’s groin. Drink double if they start talking about Joel Quenneville’s groin,

Drinking player of the week: Niklas Hjalmarsson

– Niklas Hjalmarsson is from Eksjo, Sweden. Once as a child, he went missing for 3 months after he couldn’t tell the police his name or his home town.

– Once played for the Goteborg Purple Egrets which curiously had an offensive image of Lapps on the front of the jersey. Playing for the Blackhawks was a natural fit.

– Niklas has never met comedian Eddie Murphy.
