2011 NHL Entry Draft Drinking Game

It's Friday night, why not have a little predrink fun before the bar while watching

your favourite NHL team draft their future, or throw it away like Mike Milbury...

If you are seeing double during this draft - stop drinking

Pick your own Draft Order for the 1st round or you can use a mock draft from your favourite blog or one of the many “expert” draft predictions out there (here's Bob McKenzie's rankings). Don't be an idiot and go too hard to the point where you're puking like these kids did after doing the VO2 max test at the Combine.

For Draft Selections:

• Drink the difference between your selection and the actual selection
• If a player goes higher than your selection – 1 drink
• If a player drops lower than your selection - 2 drinks
• If a player you selected slips out of the Top 10 – 3 drinks
• If a player you selected slips out of the Top 20 – 4 drinks
• If a player you selected slips out of the 1st round – 5 drinks

For Trades:

• If Gary Bettman says “we have a trade to announce” – 3 drinks
• If that trade is draft picks being swapped – 1 drink
