Apparently Versus is upping their hockey coverage, which is nice. There will be 4 big games this week on the home of the NHL. The game for which I will generate some rules is going to be on Monday, my favorite night to drink, but Tuesday features Buffalo at Boston, Wednesday is the Sharks at Philly and Thursday, versus will air the Florida Panthers. No really. The Panthers still exist and are going to be on TV, playing the mighty Washington Capitals.
The Sharks are coming off a game in Ottawa where their star acquisition Dany Heatley was soundly booed by Canadians. The Red Wings will have no sympathy, of course, because they ALL get booed by Canadians. One thing I like about this game is the two teams that are totally comitted to tradition. The Red Wings are one of the most storied franchises in history, and do well to keep their elite players for the bulk, if not all of their career. The Sharks are comitted to wearing teal, even if the 90s are more than a decade ago. To the drinky.
DRINK
… every time a former malcontent skates by in a Sharks jersey. Looking at you, Heatley and Thornton.
… if Sharks forward Torrey Mitchell makes you uncomfortable.
… if you try to Mapquest Hockeytown, USA, thinking it had to be different than Detroit, since it’s actually happy. Also, what are you doing using Mapquest?
… when Mike Modano’s severed tendons are mentioned. Then create a band called Mike Modano’s Severed Tendons. I’ll play bass.
And now, the drinking player of the week, Sharks Defenseman Derek Joslin
I think he looks a little like Bruno Mars. What do the ladies at Talk-Sports think?
– Nothing! Well if that’s not the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. But he thinks you’re amazing, juut the way you are!
