As with every Friday, it’s time to take a look at the NHL and assess beerability.
This week we’re looking at the other end of the scale. These are the guys that, if given the opportunity to go out for beers with them, you’d say “Meh, I’m alright thanks. Dude kinda seems like a dud.”
Of course, few of us know these guys personally – I certainly don’t – so we’re going strictly off the impressions we get from how they carry themselves in the media. And, since we don’t see many borderline-NHLers in a lot of interviews, the guys I selected happen to be great players - all have appeared in at least one all-star game (that was by random chance).
For the purposes of this series of posts, just pretend we’re in Alberta so young guys can be included (drinking age: 18. Hurray!).
And as a final reminder, it doesn’t matter if these guys don’t drink, or if they used to drink too much and quit, or anything like that – it’s not about actually going for beers. It has nothing to do with alcohol. It’s the concept of who seems like a good person to spend some time with and have some laughs.
So without further ado, the bottom seven players on our Beerability Index.
