The NHL got the week started by announcing two outdoor games for the 2020-21 season which will take place in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
The first of the two games will feature the Colorado Avalanche and the Vegas Golden Knights on Saturday, February 20, and the second will feature the Boston Bruins and the Philadelphia Flyers the following day.
On Tuesday, Avalanche forward Pierre-Edouard Bellemare shared his excitement for the outdoor game with the media only to have his hopes and dreams shot down by teammate Andre Burakovsky.
This entire time Bellemare thought they would be playing on Lake Tahoe, but he found out in the middle of his answer that the game isn’t actually going to be played on the lake, but instead right beside it.
He’s probably still stoked about playing in the outdoor game, but the excitement level might have gone down a notch.
