If anyone asks me what is so special about 2011 NHL Winter Classic: Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Washington Capitals (no kidding, someone actually did!), there is just one answer – Everything! Need just one reason to watch NHL Winter Classic 2011 : Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Washington Capitals? I will give you 5!

Take a look at five good reasons to watch some sports action of DISH Network -

1. Watch out for Sidney Crosby : Last season Sidney Crosby proved himself to be the best player in the NHL with his 32 goals and 33 assists in total 39 games. It would be great to see him in a setting like the Winter Classic. In fact with Corby’s 25-game points streak snapped in the previous game it would be great to see the superstar all charged up while playing against the team that the Penguins dislike the most.

2. There’s no Lack of Talent : Even if Crosby skips the Winter Classic, both the teams have got enough talents to bring you the best rivalry in this NFL match up. For example, there are Washington’s Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and Alex Semin – all of whom are in the top 25 in scoring. On the other hand the Penguins have Evgeni Malkin with 32 points in 35 games (!). Kris Letang is a Norris Trophy candidate with 6 goals, 26 assists as well as a plus-19 in 39 games. Mike Green of the Caps is among the premiere offensive blueliners. Man! 2011 NHL Winter Classic: Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Washington Capitals seems like a virtual All-Star Game to me.

3. The BIG game : The last time when the Pens and Caps hit the big stage, magical things have taken place. In their last playoff meeting in the year 2009, the series went till seven games. In Game 2 Crosby and Ovechkin both recorded hat tricks. Ovechkin’s third goal won the match but they lost the series. You these, these two teams always bring out their best when they are facing each other.

4. Rivalry at its Best : The Pens and Caps just hate each other! Max Talbot stated during an episode of “24/7″ that he doesn’t care for the Caps. Coach Bruce Boudreau feels the same way about the Penguins. Anger and hate are great for sports – for they breed intensity, and intense hockey is fun hockey, even for a regular season game.

5. The “24/7″ Payoff : You have watched HBO’s “24/7 Penguins-Capitals: Road to the Winter Classic” to get a behind-the-scenes look at some players whom you might not know. Pens defenseman Ben Lovejoy and his swollen face or teammate Mike Rupp and his fascinating Christmas costume, Caps’ Matt Hendricks and his bloody eye and forward Brooks Laich’s fist-pumping – you have known them all on a personal level watching this amazing series on DISH Network. This is sure to add more fun to watching NHL Winter Classic 2011 : Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Washington Capitals tonight at 8PM on NBC.
