Dan Craig's ice at Heinz Field for the Winter Classic has received excellent reviews. "I usually watch how the really good players move their feet and how they shuffle with the puck in their feet, so I wasn't watching too many feet out here," Craig said with a laugh. "I really take a look at skate cuts and really see once everything is said and done how everything pulls together." Overcast skies that draped overtop the media skate coupled with the mid-30 degree temperatures were ideal conditions for the game. "If we can play a game like with what we have right now, I would drop the puck right now," he said. "I would bring the machines out and then we would drop the puck and go."
