Name an NHL player whose first name starts with the first letter of the last name your opponent picked.
The puck drop draws the first letter.

Rules
  • BUILD YOUR ROSTER: Every name you get right joins your roster: one line, one pair, one goalie (LW1 C1 RW1 / D1 D2 / G)
  • BENCH: Extra names sit on the bench unless they are an upgrade.
  • CHEMISTRY (COUNTRY): Players born in the same country play 1% better for each countryman in the lineup, and they glow green.
  • CHEMISTRY (GOALS): Players who scored 50 goals together glow gold and play 5% better.
  • CHEMISTRY (TEAM): Players from the same team glow silver and play 2% better
  • CONDITIONS (1): Every player since 1917-18.
  • CONDITIONS (2): One player pool for both sides. A name you take is gone for them.
  • CONDITIONS (3): Three lives each; the name game ends on a third miss or when both lineups are full, and whoever has more lives left gets home ice for the best-of-three.
  • PUCK DROP: The first letter is drawn at random when the puck drops. The player who starts picks from it.
  • BUZZER: Once your six are dressed, your next turn shows the buzzer. Press it instead of naming: your turn is done, no life risked, the other side gets one last turn, then the puck drops. Buzz, then win the series: BUZZER BEATER.
  • LINE CHANGE: Before the puck drops, 30 seconds to bring bench players on, same position for same position: for chemistry, a badge, or a hunch. Change your lines, then win the series: COACH.
  • INJURIES: A player who takes three BIG HITS in one game leaves it by ambulance. The best bench player at his position takes his spot (a call-up if there is none). He is back for the next game.
  • PLAYER CARDS: Tap a player to flip his card and see his ratings. 🔨 big hitter · 🏒 big shooter · 🎯 sniper · 👑 legend.
