Get real.  That’s what Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins will be doing along with the Alex Ovechkin and the Washington Capitals.

The two teams will face-off in the fourth installment of the outdoor Winter Classic game on January 1, 2011 at Heinz field in Pittsburgh, the outdoor home of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

HBO will air 4 long episodes of the reality show before and after the game.  Be prepared to see and hear ‘old time’ hockey and enter into places only allowed to members of the press.  I’m sure all involved will keep it decent.

Does this mean Hollywood is next for Crosby and Ovechkin?
