NHL on NBC Drinking Game
Look, I love hockey. It's easily the best value ticket in professional sports, high-definition has made it easy to follow the puck on television without making it glow, and when tempers get hot, players are allowed to punch each other until they've cooled down. It's a beautiful sport played by manly, toothless men on ice skates, and it deserves to be on national television far more often than the Cleveland Browns. So when it does air on a real channel, we should all be celebrating. With drinks!
