Super annoying that Reaves isn’t out there tonight to mitigate the Avs starting shit. 😑
Fun fact: Pedro Pascal’s favorite song is Purple Rain.
Only 2-ish more hours till puck drop! L O L
ive decided to break out my winter classic jersey for tonight. I haven’t worn it for a game in a while but tonight is important
LFG!! So fucking pumped for this game!!
One advantage to the late start is I was able to get my yard mowed for the 1st time this season and didn’t miss puck drop!!
What’s the over under the puck drops before 920?
Wish me luck, boys. I’m in the eastern time zone, and I have to be to work at 6 am.
[Variant cover of a comic from last week that I picked up is an homage to Purple Rain.](https://i.redd.it/purple-rain-inspired-batman-cover-art-looks-very-fierce-v0-n7ayr0t5p5ba1.jpg?s=d1b449db356373be07fb24150fcee0a8ff0d229e)
WHY THE 9PM GAME.
