There is a certain “it” factor that Comcast brings to its televised broadcasts of Washington Capitals hockey. That “it” factor is the unique brand of vernacular you might overhear from commentators extraordinaire Joe Beninati and Craig Laughlin throughout the game. And that “it” factor lends itself to the Comcast drinking game, re-newed and revamped for the 2010/2011 season. Allé!
* Disclaimer: Capitals hockey is not a drinking game… That being said, if it were, and you were of legal drinking age, these would be the rules. And remember, NEVER drink and drive…
Feel free to add your own, as this game will be ever-evolving, and please feel free to contribute as additional expressions are conceived!
Oh yeah...there's an official "sweater".
