Disappointed
by ats200 on 1/3/11Heinz Field - PittsburghThe 2011 Winter Classic was nothing compared to the 2008 classic in Buffalo. The PA announcing, hosting, giveaways and entertainment (aside from Clarks, Hinder, and Styx) were horrible. Also, why would anyone think it was a good idea to incorporate so much related to the Steelers. The fans were there to see hockey, no one cares about Jerome Bettis or Franco Harris aside from the Steelers season ticket holders who shouldn't have been there anyway. They didn't even have the courtesy to represent the Penguins, they egotistically wore their Steelers jackets. Lastly, the game should have been postponed until Sunday. How can the NHL expect to have a good game played in weather conditions so horrible. It wasn't enjoyable for the fans or the players I'm sure. Luckily none of the players were hurt due to the weather.
