There’s nothing quite like a game of hockey played in the open air.
The Pittsburgh Penguins and Philadelphia Flyers met at Heinz Field on Saturday for the latest iteration of the Stadium Series. The game featured everything a fan could hope for: frigid temperatures, actual penguins taking the ice, and a mid-period switching of team sides (the wind so bad that the league decided it was only fair for each team be forced to take shots against the gusts).
The Penguins eventually beat the Flyers 4–2.
