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

The premiere episode of HBO Sports' "24/7 Penguins/Capitals: Road To The NHL Winter Classic" is Wednesday night at 10 p.m. ET/PT, and Tuesday's promise of vulgarity has us completely pumped up for it.

So in honor of this momentous occasion, and the entire four-episode miniseries, we've tailored one of our hockey drinking games to the "24/7" series so you can play along at home. At the very least, you'll be nice and lubricated so you won't have the urge to throw a brick through the TV after 58 minutes of SidneyOvie-kill.

Drinking games aren't any fun without interaction, so please contribute your own additions in the comments; as well as your beverage of choice for Wednesday night's program.

For entertainment purposes only, here is Puck Daddy's Unofficial HBO 24/7 Penguins-Capitals Drinking Game, in the classic 1-2-3 drink format.

And here ... we ... go.

• You hear the word "rivalry." 

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

• Max Talbot eye-[expletives] his interviewer.

• You find yourself thinking, "Damn, that Brooks Laich is handsome."

• Every time Marc-Andre Fleury is called "Flower."

• 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).

• Geno Malkin makes an English grammatical error in an interview response. (Bonus Drink: If you can understand at least 90 percent of what he said in that interview.)

• You see a fan-made sign.

• Capitals owner Ted Leonsis is on-screen.

• Pittsburgh Penguins GM Ray Shero is on-screen.

• You see the Stanley Cup. 

• Someone drops an F-Bomb in Russian.
