justintb Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 (edited) Hey guys, I'm just wondering that when the games on...What do you drink? Since i was 18 I got hooked on Molson Ex...And since its the beer of the Habs...I only drink it when the Habs are playing... And I was wondering how diehard some of you really are...For example...Telling a girl you cant go out on a date because you know the Habs game is on that night...LOL Just wondering if I am the only one who does stuff like this.... Also, state your "pre-game" rituals...or if you have any good luck charms while watching the game.... Or wearing a jersey when the games on? Leave your stories and experiences on here...it should be a fun thread to watch! Edited December 1, 2006 by justintb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cataclaw Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 1. Girls know when there's hockey playing, and they know all guys like to watch hockey, so i've noticed over the years they always conveniently try to schedule dates on hockey nights, to test you to see if you're more interested in the girl or the hockey. 2. My only pre-game ritual is blasting the HNIC theme at 100dB just before i watch the game. Also, if Habs win, i will always play "I feel good" really loud too. (Similarly to the Bell Center ritual) 3. I don't drink anything during games, it distracts me from the action. I'll drink before or after, but during the game i'm 100% glued to the screen following everything in detail. I won't even blink until the commercial breaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haboholic Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 i dont drink, i dont work, i dont study, i dont go on dates no game nights i watch hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMMR Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Once in a while I get some Saku Originall beers! Other that that I am like Cat Claw glued to the screen. As for watching all the games, my life revolves around the habs, before I moved to Ottawa I never had RDS so when I cam here it was such a blessing I used to have to listen to the games on the radio.

That's where you've got to spin it around and test her! Invite her on a date to the game (or to watch the game at La Cage for example). You'll see then if she can put up with what interests you. If she goes along, sign her to a long-term contract with a signing bonus, if she can't... trade her for a pick or future considerations.

A girl who im supposed to hang out with tonight wants me to come over to her house...She bought me a 12 of ex too...Unfortunately...I just cant stand watching hockey with someone who doesn't know whats going on...or perhaps has no interest whatsoever...it would drive me nuts...Therefore im IMing her..and ditching her for a 2nd time...Blocking/deleting her off of MSN...so I can watch the leafs vs habs in peace...it's just too big of a game for any kind of distraction!!!! CMON HABS!! LETS GO! I TURNED DOWN A GIRL FOR YOU GUYS TONIGHT...GO :hlogo: GO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eeeeeh... she doesn't have to know what is going on or be interested in it; if she's willing to suffer through it, you should be willing to do it too. She might come around to become a bigger fan than you. You just have to coach her through! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

habs_in_the_blood Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 im lucky my GF is not interested all that much in hockey...but always asks who won cause it affects my mood afterwards...but she never tries to interpose between me and the habs.....she plans stuff after or before the game but never during....and as for rituals...i usually HAVE to watch it at home...i hate watching it with newbies screaming at the tv cause kovalev mishandled the puck...so usually i watch it alone...on the same spot on the sofa same position...everything...and at some point i even tought my girlfriend was a habs "oiseau de malheur" i swear to god...each time she would show up from work the opposing team would score a goal....must of happend a dozen times...at one point she wasent aloud near me or the TV lol just kidding about her not beeing aloud to come near me....but came close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLP Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I brew tea. Now, I'm no crazy fool -- I realize the idea that making a cup of tea in Tokyo might somehow cause a Canadiens player to score a goal in, say, Boston, is ridiculous. It only works when the game's at the Bell Centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redlight6O Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I watch all the games at home normally, if you watch them elsewhere there are to many distractions. My girlfriend understands i like watching the game and actually makes sure the game is on and lays there with me if she wants to spend time with me. I dont like watching games with a big crowd and if montreal just put a streak together(like last yr they blasted the sens witha 3 goal outburst, i dont move my position i sit in them, beacause i believe its bad luck if i do.

simonus Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 (edited) well tonight i have a few bottles of Trois Pistoles chilling in the fridge and some buddies coming over to watch the game. Maybe some pasta. We will sit on my couch underneath the fleur-de-lis with habs jersey on and scream at the men on the screen.

RobRock Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 I used to have a really strict ritual. About 15 minutes before game time, I'd make a bowl of popcorn. Because I used a hot air popper and not the micorwave, I had to melt the butter, so that was a bit of pain in the ass. But after that, I'd get my Habs beer stein and a Coke, always Coke, and then the weirdness would happen. I'd put on my Habs jersey, which was just around anthem time, at which point, I'd sit down and stare at the same spot on the floor until the puck dropped. I wouldn't touch the popcorn during intermissions, and I'd only take a drink during commercials. Now, the only ritual is microwave popcorn during the first intermission. If the Habs are in a mini-slump, I'll forego the popcorn for a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KoZed Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Truth be told, I only have rituals once in the playoffs. Same food, same beer, same pre-game song, etc. As for the girl thing: if you can't share your passions, its jinxed. Besides, victory (even by proxy) has been scientifically proven to raise testosterone levels in males. Usually makes your gf want your team to win even more than you do!

PB Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Getting ready for a game is not so simple for me as I am allergic to the whole RDS package so I am always bouble checking if the game isn't produce on a different channel......but most of the the time it's not...so as the weeks go by my irritations keeps growing and my interest to watch the game is being challendged without mercy.........RDS c' est l'enfer pour moi.

Dalhabs Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 One thing I used to do was wave a real bellcentre bought habs flag that was given to me. But the Philadelphia game (2-4) took the flags life. I smacked it on the floor and it broke I also allways feel that the other team will score if Im not paying attention to the game just like I was on the D so Im allways following the game and hates distractions at gametime.
