Winter Classic between Capitals, Penguins moved to 8 p.m. on Saturday

If they can't make it happen by 3:30 then 8 is a great idea

I think it will be cool under the lights

I agree, if they're not going to do it at 1 they should wait until the sun goes down and have an outdoor evening game when it is dry and cooler.

Wind will still be an issue but remove the glare from the equation.

Just let us know exactly what time so those of us going with the Road Crew, know when to schedule the buses!

MON has traded Max Lapiere to the Ducks.

Olie Kolzig was a terrific commentator on NHL Network - great insights, funny, and very supportive of the Caps. Welcome back Olie!

I'm sorry but why makes this bigger than the Stanley cup? It's hard enough watching the game in an arena ....now we won't even see the puck. NHL should add the flame to the puck too! LOL

Holy wow! Am I high?

You click Submit ONCE. Jesus.

How many times can one person push submit?

LongTimeSkinsFan = newb

amoris: 13 by my count

@pokerface- You are high but that's a separate issue.:) I counted 10 re posts before I ran out of digits on my hands and I haven't learned how to count using my toes yet.

LongTimeSkinsFan,
You only need to hit submit ONCE!

i'm giving LongTimeSkinsFan a pass on this one. i've had submissions rejected because they were too soon after the last post. you just can't do this in two minutes. i have had posts show up twice when using a mobile device before but - 14 is a record

BTW poker, Do you have any holiday gifts for us in the form of trade rumors? All I got this year was a lump of coal, so I would gladly accept some late December trade news. I know trades rarely happen this time of year but I'm sure they're always talking and I'll take anything you got right now.

Holy crap LongTimeSkinsFan!! hahahahahahahaha thanks for giving me a nice chuckle. I've seen new posters submit like 3 times on their first try.. but never 14 times.. HAHAHAHAHA.

Bill Daley is on the NHL Network. He just announced start time is moved to 8 pm on Saturday

Good decision NHL!!! I really hope they get this game in.

it's gonna be sweet under the lights.

I have no issues with them moving the game to 8, although I'm surprised they did it so early. I thought they would wait until morning to make the change. What if the rain gets here late?

@griz, probably to give people time to change hotel plans and other things like pets or whatever.

sounds like a sensible move. I do wonder a little bit about how good the lighting will be for hockey though with the boards and all.

Frankly I can't imagine anyone in the stadium is able to really see much of anything from so far away.

Not a regular hockey fan but I look forward to the Winter Classic, under the lights should make it even better.

There are huge numbers of Caps fans wandering around Pitt right now.

Nice touch by the Caps who are paying for hotel rooms for fans who bought the travel package! Tend to doubt Mr Snyder would have done that.

Rendell was right. We're a nation of wusses. Start the game on time regardless of rain.

Wusses.
