I have to admit, I love games that feature teams that aren't the Penguins, Bruins, Flyers, Capitals or Red Wings. I am the type that enjoys a little variety in my TV viewing life. This is the only game of the three on Versus that doesn't feature one of those teams. Of course, I could have gone Islanders-Bruins as a tribute to Schultz, but as an Isles fan, I doubt he needs to invent an excuse to drink.
No, instead we are going to feature the Carolina Hurricanes and the New Jersey Devils. People of a certain age would recognize this as a contest between the Hartford Whalers and the Colorado Rockies. Thank goodness the spectre of an NHL franchise being moved is now long over. Isn't that right, Atlanta?
DRINK
... every time someone in a Devils jersey skates by and you say "oh yeah, that guy". For example: "Dainus Zubrus. Oh yeah! That guy!"
... 6 times or every shot of Brian Boucher the oldest player on the 'Canes roster. Once for every player as old or older than him that plays for New Jersey
... in the street if Eric Staal scores
... when Jeff Skinner gets the puck, because, legally, he can't.
DRINKING PLAYER OF THE WEEK:
PETR SYKORA!
Excuse us while Sykora depantses in front of us. Petr Sykora is from Plzen, in the Czech Republic, which is home to pilsner, and also not a single damn vowel. What do they say at Talk-Sports?
- "what's up with Sykora?"
- "So anything on Sykora signing?"
- "did he sign with someone else?"
- "So anyone know what's up with Sykora?"
- "Is sykora coming back to the nhl?"
Petr Sykora. Man of mystery.
