Washington Capitals Drinking Game

A few months ago, I was watching a SJ Sharks game with a good friend of mine who lives in the SF Bay area.  He pulled up this site, suggesting we play along.  I did play along, but I also noticed that it would be very easy to modify these rules a bit to make a great Caps drinking game.

Here are a few of my initial rules, but I hope to make this a collaborative effort, so please suggest more in the comments if you like this idea.  I changed it up a bit from the original Sharks' game I linked to, and made 4 basic categories:  "Joe B. and Locker", "Players" (for rules that apply to specific players), "Fans", and "Team".  I'm sure there are lot more to add to this, especially in the "Players" section, I think we could get a pretty good list going here...

I decided to do this after searching for a list like this, but came up empty -- I even searched as best I could for similar fan shots on this site.  I found it hard to believe no one had put one of these together already, so if anyone knows of one, please feel free to link to that too.

Star-divide

Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin
-Drink whenever Joe B. says "[insert team] in their road whites" or "[insert team] in their home/alt [color] sweaters"
-Drink whenever Joe B. points out there's no relation to Brendan Morrison and Shaone Morrisonn
-Drink whenever Joe B. makes a reference to Craig Laughlin's Capitals days
-Drink whenever Joe B. makes fun of Locker's wardrobe
-Drink whenever Joe B. refers to a fast shot as a type munition (bullet, missile, howitzer)
-Drink whenever Joe B. refers to Ovechkin as "the Great 8"
-Drink whenever Joe B. says the words "in his own right"
-Drink whenever Locker refers to someone as a "big rig"

-Drink whenever Locker comments on Joe B. being single
-Drink whenever Locker says "kabonged"

Players
-Drink whenever Mike Green lets what should be kept-in puck trickle past him along the boards when he's on the point (2 drinks if it's a PP).
-Drink 2 whenever Alex Semin commits an HHT penalty in the offensive zone
-Drink whenever Ovechkin lays out a big hit (add another if he scores a goal in the same shift)

-if John Carlson scores a GWG (or game-tying goal in the waning seconds of a game), sing "America, F*ck Yeah!" and finish your drink

Fans
-Drink whenever Horn Guy starts his routine
-Drink whenever Goat starts his routine
-Drink whenever the fans "whoop whoop!" an ex-Cap defenseman

Team

-Take two drinks when the Caps score a short-handed goal
-Take two drinks when a Cap gets a major penalty
-Take two drinks when a Cap starts a fight
-Take two drinks when there's blood on the ice (add one more if it's Matt Bradley's)
-Take two drinks when a Cap breaks the glass
-Take two drinks when the opposing team pulls the starting goalie (cheers!)
-Take two drinks when the Caps pull their starting goalie (keep your spirits up!)
-Take two drinks when Joe B. or Locker refer to any other ex-Cap by name.
     Add one more drink if it's Kolzig, just because we miss him
     Add one more & pump your fist if it's any Cap that has had his number retired (Gartner, Langway, Labre, Hunter)
     Add one more drink & scream a profanity if it's Jagr
     Add one more drink if it's Joé Juneau and the clip of him scoring the GWG against the Sabres in '98 is shown
-Take 3 drinks whenever a Cap gets a hat trick (add 10 more if a player from the opposing team whines about how long it takes to clean up the hats in the post game presser).
-Take 5 drinks whenever the Caps earn the fans free chicken wings (5+ goals in a game)

RockTheRed.net has a drinking game they’ve had up for quite awhile here. It’s got most of the Locker/Joe B. things down, haha. I think the team/fan ones you have might be a little easier to remember though!

Indeed, I check that site from time to time too, surprised I never noticed that. Their games does seem a little more “broadcast crew centric”, I was going for more of a game to encompass the entire Caps game watching experience.

I actually thought of including rules for things seen at the Verizon Center during the game as well, since this game shouldn’t have be limited to games watched CSN. I guess we could also add rules for Kolbe’s radio broadcasts as well. Why not be able to play when you’re at the games live or listening on the radio?!? (as long as drinking and driving is NOT involved, of course).

Becca had a drinking game at dccheapseats.

As well as one specifically for a Caps-Pens game.

Some of these are outdated, like a Brashear fight (unless we’re playing the Rangers!) and the Pulte Homes commercials. Boy do i miss those commercials.

Thats the way it should be!

Drink every time Smokin’ Al circles his wallet.

My favorite:

Semin falls down without being touched, turns over the puck and takes a hooking penalty. (Finish another one if he does all three then comes out on the next shift and scores a highlight reel goal.)

if Locker comments on Joe B being single, take 5 drinks

if John Carlson scores a GWG, sing “America, Fuck Yeah!” and finish your drink

if John Carlson scores a GWG, sing "America, Fuck Yeah!" and finish your drink, and then finish seventy three more

Why Japers' Rink saves my sanity.

It’s nice to come here to talk hockey, especially after blinking repetedly at some of the comments left on the Washington Capitals Facebook page. Oy.

Just thought I’d say thanks, Japers’ fans.

LOL @ Juneau and the Carlson rule. :D

by SemiSteckel on Apr 19, 2010 12:48 AM EDT reply actions  

Yes, I read that occasionally, ut it makes my brain hurt too much, so I will pop in now and again and attempt to inject sanity, give up and wander back to Japers’.

- Drink whenever either Joe B. or Locker makes a food reference (biscuit, etc.)
- Finish your drink if either says “produce section” in reference to a player’s “man area”

-Whenever Locker says, “Hold it right here!” during intermission telestration.

Well, let's see. It's like ZORT! or, um, POIT!

Drink when you hear Joe talk about two guys on opposite teams having the same number, or when he talks about two guys in the same play having an inverted numbers.

My ability to post is only surpassed by my ability to pinch pennies.

Frankly, I’d kind of love it if we turned these into bingo cards… :)

Now that’s a novel idea — would go great with the open threads!

Hmmm…

Since I got the ball rolling, I’ll try to come up with a bingo card for game 4 — I’ll post as a fanshot when the open-thread goes up.

You had me at no problem.
