12. Hardcore Holly

This person takes the games way too seriously. Look, we can all get caught up in the moment. Everyone gets into the games and might shed a little anger after a playoff loss. Hardcore Holly is the person you see trending on Instagram after the game because she threw her television out the second floor window.

Hardcore Holly is a lot of fun to watch the games with if her team is winning. However, if her team is losing, you best be wearing a helmet. Get out of the room as soon as possible. Beware of flying bottles, cell phones and television sets.

Hardcore Holly’s rage lasts hours, sometimes days. She’s the person outside after the game burning her $300 jersey, or worse, sending death threats to players because they made a crucial mistake in the game.

You definitely want to avoid elimination games with Hardcore Holly. If you are watching the Stanley Cup finals with this person, dress as if you’re about to hit the ice yourself.
