Winter Classic: Pittsburgh Penguins vs Wasington Capitals
With the Stanley Cup final on tomorrow, some people have shifted their attention over to the Winter Classic, being played between the Pittsburgh Penguins and Washington Capitals. In my opinion, I didn't think the choice of the 2 teams were really fair. Pittsburgh played in a Winter Classic game only a few years ago. A little more than 20 other teams have NEVER played in a Winter Classic before, and this is Pittsburgh's second time in the last 5-6 years. It is like Dallas hosting another All-star game, even though they did that 3 years ago. It is pretty obvious that this is an idea for the NHL to get more viewers. I mean, if it were Atlanta vs Tampa Bay...there would be no interest at all. Maybe only the die hard fans would be interested in that. But because 2 of the NHL's best teams are playing, you can bet that there will be a ton of interest. I hope Vancouver gets to play in the next Winter Classic. That would be a game to watch!
