Puck Daddy’s 2012 Trade Deadline Day drinking game

Soooooo ... no Rick Nash deal, huh? Well then, we'll have to just sit and wait patiently for that Bryan Allen trade to roll in, eh?

The NHL's 2012 Trade Deadline Day has arrived and with all of the players who've either signed extensions, been pulled off the market, or have already been traded, this is setting up to be one quiet day.

But have no fear, your friends at Puck Daddy are here with another fun drinking game to make the next seven hours of your life a little more entertaining while you sit and wait to hear whether or not your favorite team's GM is working the phones to make a move or playing Words With Friends on his iPhone.

Of course, a drinking game is even better with your input, so please feel free to add your own rules to the game in the comments.

Coming up, what you should look for today to help increase your beverage-to-hand ratio.
