It has come to my attention that the NHL is continuously growing and, thus, gaining new viewers.
I'm the first one to admit that it must be hard to adapt to a new and exciting sport so I'm gonna try to help the newbies out with a list of things to do and not to do during the NHL playoffs, y'know, to make things easier.
Do's:
Do mute Pierre McGuire every time he opens his mouth
Trust me on this one. It'll give you less headaches.
Do watch games in your favourite team's jersey for good luck
Sometimes a good superstition can spring a long playoff run.
Do cry whenever you see a CBC intro
How can you not? Best vids around.
Do follow @DownGoesBrown on Twitter
For the best tweets around during the postseason. Except for after the Leafs loss. That was pretty awkward.
Do feel bad for the goalies going against the Penguins powerplay
32.3%. 32.3 freakin' percent.
Do get lost in Henrik Lundqvist's eyes
Again. How can you not?
Do wonder who thought Pierre McGuire was a good man for an announcing job
Also why he's on for the playoffs...
Don'ts:
Don't be surprised if forward Raffi Torres gets suspended for a hit to the head
It's essentially an annual event.
Don't watch the NBA playoffs
I promise you the Heat will win.
Don't make the whole world hate you
This tip would have helped this Toronto fan.
Don't yell shoot on when your team is on the powerplay
They're professional NHL players who practice the powerplay everyday. Also, they probably don't have a shooting angle anyway.
*Exception: Ranger fans. They have every right to.
Don't make facebook posts after every goal
Either all your friends are watching or nobody cares. I don't need 30 posts telling me that Ryan Callahan scored.
Don't ask a Maple Leafs fan why they aren't in the playoffs anymore
Too soon.
Don't resort to crack if your team loses
Especially if you're a Mayor
Don't sarcastically chant the opposing goaltenders name when they're shutting you out
After a goal, I understand. But in the third period when he's stopped 40 out of 41 shots, you're in no position to do so.
Don't do school work
I don't even have to write this one out. No time to do it anyway.
Don't blame a loss on a league's conspiracy against your team
We've all heard it before. What makes you so special?
So that's more or less all you need to know about watching playoff hockey.
So empty your DVR, crack open a beer or two, and enjoy the next few weeks.
