    This is the only NHL regular season game I watch. I'm looking forward to this game because it showcases two of the best in the game.

    They're playing at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh. It's the Capitals vs the Penguins. I actually prefer watching this over the bowl games believe it or not.


    It was originally suppose to be on early in the afternoon, but they moved it to prime time so it can be colder.

    There is also a pretty cool HBO 24/7 about this game.

    I love this game, too. Ovechkin and Crosby are worth watching, especially if you don't have a vested interest in any bowl game. The environment alone, provided you have HD, is worth your time.

    They're showing Pittsburgh vs Buffalo from a few years ago. This game, made the Winter Classic.


    It was snowy, you had skilled players doing their thing. It went to OT, and it ended in a shoot out.

    That shootout between Jerome Bettis and Franco Harris was kinda depressing. They suck ass.

    I can't believe I forgot to watch this. I even knew that it was changed to Saturday, I knew that it was scheduled for 5 pt, and I even got up early and watched the Buffalo/Pitt and Red Wing replays of the past two years.

    Gahh... it is truly the end of the world. :(

    Off topic but I was at the Aeros game tonight. They had a large crowd and an incredible ending. Aeros were down 3-2 with under a minute to play and they scored to tie it, then scored again 20 second later to win in regulation. Made fans of a lot of people attending their first hockey game.

    Nice.


    I heard it was bikini night? I still haven't been to an Aeros game. Someone hook me up with free tickets.
