Puck Daddy's Unofficial HBO 24/7 Penguins-Capitals Drinking Game

Are you as excited as I am about the HBO Sports 24/7 series debuting tonight about the Pittsburgh / Washington New Year's Day Winter Classic? Their previous series following the New York Jets proved it gets pretty raw - and this one is supposed to be more gritty and blue as hell. Puck Daddy offers up an excellent drinking game for those who are going to be following the icy action. Here are some of the offenses (full list here):

ONE DRINK
• Someone drops an F-Bomb in English.

• There's a mention of Heinz Field.

• You hear the word "rivalry."

• Bruce Boudreau yells to the point where his face is flush.

• There is an artistic slow-motion shot of a pedestrian hockey play that makes it a billion times cooler than it is (i.e. a goalie making a routine save; a faceoff).

• You see a fan-made sign.

• You see the Stanley Cup.

TWO DRINKS

• Someone drops an F-Bomb in Russian.

• There is a reference to the teams' 2009 Eastern Conference playoff series.

• Alex Ovechkin is referred to as "brash," "flashy," or "a rock star."

• Sidney Crosby is referred to as "a leader," "focused/determined" or "a warrior."

• Mike Green is seen wearing sunglasses. (bonus drink if he's actually outdoors)

• You see a player's mother and/or father.

• You see the Olympic gold medal from 2010.

THREE DRINKS
• Someone drops an F-Bomb in Swedish.

• Hilary Duff is seen and/or mentioned.

• They show the highlight from February 2009 in which Ovechkin and Crosby get physical near the benches.

• The HBO crew IDs a player incorrectly; either through mislabeling, misspelling or getting a jersey number wrong.

• A Pittsburgh Steeler and/or Washington Redskin makes an appearance.

• You see Ovechkin's car and/or Ovechkin speeding in it.

• Jaromir Jagr is referenced. (25 bonus drinks if Kris Beech is mentioned)

Depends on what the received translation for the "f" bomb is in Swedish...
