It’s time for a postseason drinking game. And what better time to break out such a tool than on a weekend? The Blackhawks and Predators will play their second game tonight, finishing up the opening run at the United Center before the series turns to Bridgestone Arena on Sunday.

Of course, you could drink your adult beverage in the normal way during tonight’s game. But what about adding a little entertainment to the mix? That’s where we have you covered.

Let’s get to the Chicago Blackhawks playoff drinking game for tonight’s contest in the Windy City.

Chicago Blackhawks

(Fair warning: I’m not sure who will be on the broadcast team for this game, as far as the national broadcast is concerned. It was Kenny Albert and Pierre McGuire for the opener, so I’ll assume they’re going to be around for Game 2.)

Take one drink if …

— The Blackhawks being shut out in Game 1 is referenced (maybe you ought to carefully measure your drinks here)

— One or more of the Blackhawks’ last three Stanley Cups is mentioned (seriously, carefully measure)

— Jonathan Toews is caught on camera with an “Angry Toews” face

— The Blackhawks score a goal

— Corey Crawford makes a glove save

— Pierre McGuire talks about someone’s college experience

— Soft-serve ice cream is mentioned (for those on the local broadcast)

— “All you young hockey players” is uttered (from wherever Ed Olczyk winds up)

Take two drinks if …

— Pierre McGuire mentions Sidney Crosby

— The Blackhawks score a powerplay goal

— Trevor van Riemsdyk falls down

— Johnny Oduya falls down

— The United Center crowd starts chanting Pekka Rinne‘s name

— The Blackhawks take a too-many-men penalty

Take three drinks if …

— Joel Quenneville noticeably smiles/laughs/tries to stifle a laugh while being interviewed by Pierre McGuire

— Marcus Kruger scores a goal

— Artemi Panarin gets in a fight

— Barry Trotz is mentioned

— The shoot-the-puck contest is shown at intermission

Finish your drink if …

— Jordin Tootoo scores a goal

— Patrick Kane or Corey Crawford get in a fight

— The game goes to a third overtime

— Peter Laviolette and Joel Quenneville fight

I realize some of these rules are potentially dangerous, but so is being a Blackhawks fan during the Stanley Cup Playoffs. How many postseason games have we sat through where we were worried our bodies would actually give out on us?
