An abundance of food, drinks and lighthearted rivalries means the more, the merrier! For NHL playoffs, take a peek at how the table is set at our editor in chief's house, where hockey night is family tradition; it's loud, it's crowded and it can get pretty messy (but she wouldn't have it any other way). Here's Karine's game-night menu:
