Fun Games to Play While Watching Hockey with Friends

[Penguins23]

Semi off-topic but does anyone have fun little games to play with the boys while watching hockey? Football has a bunch, a popular one among my group of friends is to pass a bucket around after every play. If you have the bucket you put at quarter in it, if there's a scoring play you win whatever money is in the bucket.


A hockey version of that that I thought of would be to pass the bucket around at every minute of play so 19:59-19:00 would be one minute. Put a quarter in and pass it on. Could be some nice pots for a triple OT winner.

Another thing we do every Superbowl is the "Football Squares" which is also fun. Can't think of a hockey alternative for that.

We've often done $5 first goal. Pick a guy from each team. If someone not picked scores the first goal then it doesn't count, it goes to the next goal. That's another fun one.


Any other suggestions? Basically looking for fun games when the boys are over in the mancave watching the playoffs to spice things up a little.

Announcer Bingo is one of my personal favorites. Search for "Doc Emrick/Ed Olcyk/etc. Bingo" and you'll get lots of results, only problem is you have to be watching a game that that particular person is calling.

Drink a shot every time Getzlaf passes when he 's got a clear lane to shoot. Be drunk every game day.

A friend of mine and I took a shot of gin every time Randy Hahn used the term "Desert Dogs" during an ARI-SJS game earlier this year.


Needless to say, we didn't last very long. I definitely don't remember big stretches of that game.

lol, seriously. I know hockey is just a game, but sometimes I'm so into the game I don't even want anyone to talk.

I lost a girlfriend over "Leave me alone the Rangers are on". She got mad cause I was soooo focused.

But the real game I play is "how many more minutes until my sanity is drained due to panic"
