The NHL on NBC: The Drinking Game
I'm sure these Finals are great fun for Pittsburgh and Detroit fans. But what about the rest of us poor slobs who have to suffer through this hockey coverage without the benefit of a rooting interest? Well, there's one obvious solution: get plastered. And what better way to do that than by playing The NHL on NBC Drinking Game?
The rules are simple, whenever:
Chris Osgood mishandles the puck: Drink
The puck takes a 20 foot bounce off the end boards at the Joe Louis Arena: Drink
Pierre McGuire manages to get his Stanley Cup ring on camera: Drink
Doc Emmerich screams "OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH": Drink
Marc Andre-Fluery gets caught out of the net trying to play the puck: Drink
Reference is made to either the youth of the Penguins or the experience of the Red Wings: Drink
Playoff beards are compared and contrasted: 2 Drinks
Ed Olczyk uses the telestrator and says "STOP RIGHT THERE": Chug
Olczyk breaks down a replay that isn't being shown on screen: Drink
Pierre McGuire says that a player was "knocked into next week" by a check: Drink
Mike Milbury appears on camera and has remembered to comb his hair: 2 Drinks
Hal Gill is on the ice for a Detroit goal: Drink
Hal Gill gets beaten for a breakaway, but manages to get back and get in the Red Wings way and is then lauded for it: 3 Drinks
Niklas Kronwell's hit on Martin Havlat is brought up: Drink
A replay of the hit is shown: 2 Drinks
Tomas Holmstrom manages to tote his fat ass into his defensive zone: Drink
Ed Olczyk warns us of the danger of THE LONG CHANGE during the 2nd period or 1st OT: Long drink
A goal is scored and Olczyk credits/blames THE LONG CHANGE for it: Finish your drink
The announce team brings up the fact that Detroit's Marion Hossa played for the Penguins last year: Drink
Kris Draper is referred to as "a warrior": Drink
Camera shot of Sydney Crosby on the bench: Drink
Announce team laughs at Crosby's high school mustache: 2 Drinks
If Pittsburgh is behind, and Olczyk and McGuire speculate on when Dan Bylsma should play Malkin and Crosby together: 3 Drinks
Any reference made to the economic hardship of the people of Detroit: Drink
Ford files for bankruptcy during the game: 2 Drinks
NBC cuts away during the game for the pregame show of the Belmont Stakes: Drink
There, that ought to be enough to kill the average man by the 5 minute mark of the 2nd period. Feel free to add your own rules in the comments.

I've got one to add: Pierre or Edzo uses the phrase "active stick": Drink (giggling first is optional)

I don't really like these games - they only have a bad purpose, that is getting people drunk. And it's a small step from drinking casually to being an alcoholic. So there's shouldn't be any thing like playing the drinking game. If you are young, let's say it's ok, but when you are advancing in age - I don't think it's such a good idea - there are more problems and therefore more reasons to drink. Get help if you need it.

Whenever Mike Emrick uses the phrase "ricochet" or "once more" - one drink

Anytime Pierre says someone is a "MONSTER!!": (small drink, ironically)
Anytime they do a close-up of Pierre and you are able to catch a glimpse of the soul-crushing sadness in his eyes for being passed over for the Minnesota job: Monster drink

Wow, somebody sounds a little jealous of Detroit. How about every time Detroit scores a goal - Drink. I would be impressed if anyone made it through the game sober.

Wow, you really put me in my place. I bet you put so much thought into your reply that you barely had the strength to actually type it.

Great. After all the whoring I do for new readers, you go and say something like that.

Awesome. We can still use this for Game 6, just substitute some Mellon Arena references in place of the Joe. And, for any promos of "I'm a Celebrity...", regurgitate the drink.

Any time Doc says "Drive" when someone takes a shot: Drink. That rule will probably get you wasted on its own.

Good thing NBC doesn't do a pre-game, everyone would have been smashed before the puck even dropped....

Hi,
The first reference to it being played as an adult sport was in 1611, when two men in Sussex were prosecuted for playing cricket on Sunday instead of going to church [6]. In the same year, a dictionary defines cricket as a boys' game and this suggests that adult participation was a recent development..

Do the game developers choose the game consoles or the game publishers in game development?

The collection was created as an aid to responsible adults who know their limits (and not to cross them) when it comes to drinking and not to promote this kind of drinking behavior and You should of course be of legal drinking age if you want to play these games with beer or drinks

"Pierre McGuire manages to get his Stanley Cup ring on camera: Drink" Yes, that is fantastic. Oh man all of these rules made me crack up. Just don't drive after playing this game. You'll end up so sauced that if you drive home you can bet your auto insurance rates will go through the roof.
