The NFL had its Ice Bowl, and now the NHL wants the face of its league to be a part of its version.
According to a report in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, league Most Valuable Player Sidney Crosby and the Penguins will play the Sabres in an outdoor regular-season game on New Year's Day at Ralph Wilson Stadium, home of the NFL's Bills.
Citing several undisclosed sources, the report states that the 1 p.m. game - tentatively being titled "Ice Bowl" - will air nationally on NBC.
