Phoenix Coyotes (24-20-5) at San Jose Sharks (35-6-5)
7:30 PM, PST
Typical gameday posts talk about the strengths and weaknesses of the opponent, the trends the Sharks are facing, injury updates, and so on.
Not this time. As requested, here are the rules of the Sharks Drinking Game that is often referred to on TV. This fellow over here keeps a complete list, including plays and game moments (which I don't count...it's strictly a Randy and Drew thing for me). Here are the main rules:
Drink whenever Randy or Drew say the following:
Add one more drink if he says "the lovely and talented Dan Rusanowsky."
That covers the official rules. As the site owner hasn't updated since 2007 (AKA The Ron Wilson Era), here are a few rules of my own.
- Drink when the Drew's Clues segment is introduced.
- Drink when Drew apologizes when he admits the refs were right and he was wrong.
- Drink when Drew complains about Ehrhoff shooting the puck high or wide (not as necessary this season).
- Drink when Drew counts the number of players via telestrater on a Too Many Men penalty.
- Drink when Drew mumbles something so low that it's unintelligible.
- And just for games against the Coyotes, drink whenever the camera shows Wayne Gretzky screaming, yelling, grimmacing, or doing anything to express his fury.
Now, your challenge as a dedicated BoC reader -- play the Sharks Drinking Game and leave comments as you're playing. Oh, the wackiness that will ensue.
Prediction: Sharks 4, Coyotes 3 in overtime (the extra point in the standings hurts the Ducks' cause). Goals by Marleau, Ehrhoff (who didn't shoot wide), Clowe, and Grier.

oh goodness!
One drink and I would already be over the edge! A drink for all that? Someone would have to call an ambulance. I’ll leave the drinking games for the crazies. :)
Ever get the feeling we are on a collision course with reality?

(the extra point in the standings hurts the Ducks’ cause)
Shrug. The Ducks are doing plenty to hurt their own cause — I don’t know that the scoreboard’s going to matter too much if they won’t win their own games.
Ducks drinking game isn’t so much a novelty these days — drink when the team sucks, then drink when the team does something well in anticipation of the upcoming letdown.

Oh my
Having had to listen to a couple of Shark broadcasts, if I played this game, I would not be able to go to work the next day. Hmm, maybe that is a reason to play? Well, I’ll miss the broadcast as I’m heading to the Avs/Leafs game this evening.

The Avs/Leafs game, I’m sure, has its own version of a drinking game.
Drink every time you feel bad for the Leafs.
Drink every time you should feel bad for the Leafs.
Those two will probably put you face-down in some gutter.

How about the BoC drinking game?
Drink every time Sleek says “Positivity”
Drink every time Sleek predicts Pahlsson to score a goal
Drink every time Sleek links you to AOL Fanhouse
Drink every time someone mentions Hayward
Drink every time Rudy is angry or frustrated.
Drink every time Rudy swears or says a dirty word. (in his most recent post alone: Hell, Faggot, Crap, Shit, Fuck, Asshole, Hell, Jacks Off, Penis)
Drink every time James reminds you of his other blog
Drink every time a Sharks blogger posts.
Drink at every State Rape, giving or recieving.
Feel free to add on, I realize it’s a bit Sleek-oriented.

Well, thanks to a bit of my own drinking game last night that I played with a buddy (drink wine until it’s gone), there’s no PuckToon this week. So at least that saves you one drink.
As for add-on rules, I’m all ears. I might recommend tallying your drinks during the day and paying the bottle later at night, though. My post habits these days would make a lot of people drink at around 7 or 8 in the morning. :)

There aren’t too many receivings since the Sharks seems to save Ca from that.

Not to mention — Sleek only makes those graphics in one direction. It’s up to rival bloggers to “stick it to” California.

Are you guys begging the question
If no State-Rape cartoon exists, did State-Rape really take place?
When of course the answer is yes. It’s each reader’s responsibility to drink when it occurs, cartoon or not.

Mike...
You rock! Thanks so much for following up on my request and posting this! It looks like its going to take the tenacity, fortitude & Liver Capacity of a Kings Fan to complete this game, and I think I’m just the man to persue this quest! I’ll report back soon either with a wicked case of the pre-hangover giggles or on location from the Betty Ford Clinic!

I hope you drank when...
…Drew counted out the Too Many Men penalty.
And when the Coyotes iced the puck on the power play (“That’s never a good thing.”)

Not much drinking at Leafs/Avs
Because the Leafs actually won the game so I didn’t feel sorry for them, not even slightly. Ack, it was bad hockey all the way around during that game. Rotten defense, rotten goaltending, rotten officiating.
Hmm, maybe we should play “drink every time Koharski makes a bad call?” Chirrosis here I come!
