What a lot of people don't realize about the first NHL Winter Classic is that it very well could have been the last NHL Winter Classic.
We remember Sidney Crosby scoring the game-winning goal on New Year's Day in 2008, in front of a raucous and frozen stadium crowd in Buffalo in a game that looked like it was being played inside a snow globe.
We remember that game between the Penguins and Sabres sparking the NHL's new era of outdoor games, which has spanned from Fenway Park to the Cotton Bowl to Dodger Stadium.
