    Super annoying that Reaves isn’t out there tonight to mitigate the Avs starting shit. 😑

  3. jonn_jonzz

    Fun fact: Pedro Pascal’s favorite song is Purple Rain.

  4. Beksense

    Only 2-ish more hours till puck drop! L O L

  5. dcdoyle03

    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

  6. 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!!

  7. Otterslayer22

    What’s the over under the puck drops before 920?

  8. xisgonnagiveittoya

    Wish me luck, boys. I’m in the eastern time zone, and I have to be to work at 6 am.
