NHL Winter Classic: Capitals vs Penguins at Heinz Field January 1st 2011

Finally the NHL will be showcasing their superstars, after all the hype Sidney Crosby & Alexander Ovechkin got at the Winter Olympics, it would seem that the NHL has come to it’s senses and will be having them go head to head in the NHL’s showcase event, the Winter Classic . 

According to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette the Washington Capitals vs Pittsburgh Penguins, January 1, 2011 at Heinz Field, the home of the Pittsburgh Steelers is almost a done deal though it won’t be announced until mid summer.  Both the NHL and the Pittsburgh Penguins have yet to confirm it, probably so they can have the big media event when announcing it.   Ticket prices probably will be $100 to $500 and even though it takes place in Pittsburgh, the Washington Capitals will be considered the home team.
