It has been announced by the NHL that the 2015 Bridgestone
Winter Classic will be held in Washington D.C. The team the Capitals will be
facing is still unknown at this point but rumors and speculation points to the
Penguins. This makes a lot sense since the “face” of the NHL plays for the
Pittsburgh Penguins and having Sidney Crosby go against Alexander Ovechkin on a
National broadcast will be huge for the NHL. The Penguins have participated in
two Winter Classics, the 1st one in Buffalo and hosting one against
the Capitals a few years later. Whoever the Capitals play, the Winter Classics have been great events for the NHL and it will be fun to watch.
