My good buddy R$’s tweet sent me into a frenzy late this afternoon. News broke that the Pens will be hosting the Caps at Heinz Field on January 1st 2011. As Novak put it: “This is really good news – this is the kind of news I need” (What a First-World comment, h/t Kels). Who’s got two thumbs and is attending this game?? THISS GUYYY.
The D men in their first Winter Classic (Kris Baby Face Letang - so young there)
I can just see Ovechkin’s snarky, smug, smirky face as he steps into hallowed Heinz Field. What an amazing sports villain he is, no?
The Buffalo/Pens Winter Classic in 2008 sold out in less than 1 hour, with the official attendance of that game clocking in around 71,217. I trust many (65k+?) frigid, hearty Pittsburgh Sports Fans, as well as the Pens and their Captain will be more than ready for the Big Bad Red Cap’s visit.
This was, like, way before the 2010 Winter Olympics - if ya know what I mean
