The NHL on the Fly Drinking Game

I missed the Versus game of the Week this week. I feel badly about this. I also realized something must be done, lest everyone remain sober for a week. So I thought I would whip up this little number for every day use, or if I should happen to miss a week with the Drinking Game. Bookmark this page, because I will likely miss a game or two. I’m unreliable. At least that’s what my last few ex girlfriends say.

Anyways, NHL on the Fly is a staple of the NHL Network. They provide highlights and live game cut ins every night, and is really the essential program for the hockey fan with ADD. Much to my surprise, there are people with the NHL Network that do not get Versus. I feel you all have been woefully neglected. Because of this, I have decided to make double the rules for this! Pick your favorite or play them all for maximum intoxication!

DRINK

… if highlights of a team in an alternate jersey are shown.

… if they catch the local affiliates in a local promo while looking in at a game. Drink 5 times if you seriously consider heading to Buffalo to take advantage of the great deals at Joe’s Tire Barn (for example). Also, hopefully the 5 drinks will dissuade you from driving anywhere. Don’t drink and drive.

… the rest of your drink if they cut to your local affiliates, then jam a screwdriver up your nose (Phillips head). You should be watching your own game, you inconsiderate punk.

… every time they say “NHL”. Just a sip. Pace yourself.

… whenever they cut to Versus. Because that would be ironic.

… whenever they are showing highlights, but you don’t realize it for about 10 seconds. Happens to me all the time. No Buccigross here to make you laugh while you enjoy some fancy stick handling.

… If you flip channels, looking for the other game, then realize that you are watching the “other game” already.

… If you hear an announcer you recognize. Holy crap! Is that Kenny Albert?

There you go. A bunch of rules for a a highlight show drinking game if I or Versus are unavailable. Good luck and happy drinking.
