>> mike: 42,832. kind of thought about some future game in future year. how about beaver stadium, penn state? they've had a crowd of 111,000. the record set at michigan stadium last year 105,491. just a thought for the future. and if it rains the day before they can practice at that brand-new rink that's just wonderful at penn state. >> eddie: blue ice arena. >> mike: keith in deep. forcing one around behind that can be played by saad. off the knee of orpik. chased down by brooks laich. seabrook is back. laich moves on trying to work around behind and goes to corn we are seabrook. meanwhile meeting him in there is marian hossa. >> eddie: great recovery from seabrook on that one-on-one.

great stick. >> mike: sent behind by joel ward taken on by keith. worked by saad. carried by toews. advanced off of hossa. 4:40. if tied, there will be an overtime. if still tied, a shoot-out. those of you watching last new year's day remember. bouncer whacked along by hjalmarsson. sent further by johansson. carried back up by bickell. here's bickell motoring on with sharp. got it to him. sharp taken out of the play but angles it on to bickell. knocked away by hillen. just away from shaw. can be played by brouwer. and brouwer's pass is on the money for johansson. connected back out again for the carry-on by sharp. his shot was blocked away by holtby. oduya flipped one along and a penalty is coming up i think. >> pierre: called an offside there. >> mike: i think the blackhawks may have gotten away with one. >> pierre: they did. >> mike: 65. >> pierre: andrew shaw certainly did. >> eddie: right in the high

slot. >> pierre: this is what doc was alluding to. andrew shaw, convenient on purpose, eddie? >> eddie: looked similar to the penalty earlier in the game. tom wilson took the skates out from under corey crawford. >> mike: back down for an icing. >> eddie: patrick sharp with ten shots in this game. still four minutes left to play in regulation. >> mike: funny to see karl alzner and patrick kane scharharing a cup a minute ago. opponents but for three seconds the garrard dropped justuard dropped just a second and now back on. niskanen banks it ahead. down it goes and hjalmarsson after it. up the boards and taken there by

kruger. carefully back to hjalmarsson. 3:45 to go in the third. aler in forced it a way from kruger. worked back out where it can be handled by keith and blasted back in. it is richards leave it across. joel ward there. tipped on back forny. shaw got there. led it on to kane. around for shaw and we're going to get a delayed penalty against washington. here's seabrook then on to kane. kane taking a look drifting across. got it under. side of the net, banked on for a play to be made behind by seabrook but that's where it's held and we're going to get a boarding called. >> eddie: matt niskanen for boarding on andrew shaw. comes in shaw turns and there you see from behind in the boards.

that's what the referee sees. >> mike: the sixth power play for the blackhawks. the capitals have had two. so power play number six in a 2-2 tie with 3:11 to go. sharp able to have this one. then kane. takes a look towards keith. deals it in to toews. toews has sharp, gives it to him. then toews. then sharp. then toews. then kane. dropped it off to toews. blocked off by brooks orpik. orpik able to clear, not out. held by sharp. back across. keith to sharp, then on to toews. kane nearby and gives to him. a couple head fakes into the back, sharp a drive and that one blocked up high off after brouwer. and can be played further by keith. rattled around and kane can take it. 1:15 to go power play.

and they rule that sharp did not hold it in. >> eddie: looked like from my vantage point it barely came over the line. does it come teat completely over the line. looked like it just might have been on the edge of the blue but it ended up being behind patrick sharp that made that call. tim nowak was on the opposite side. scott cherry right in front but that's not his call. >> mike: off this tie-up hossa flicked it on back. 2:20 to go in the third period of a 2-2 tie. 42,000 watching here in washington and all of you. given across. seabrook a drive. pad stop rebound. flipped along, not out. set up now, another shot. off bickell's stick got the glass and can be played around and once more seabrook to hold. then along to saad. looking to the front where bickell has planted himself.

seabrook shooting and that one blocked off. rebound turned around to the front and cleared back out again by beagle. half a minute to go on the power play. two shots on this power play already. rifled back in by seabrook. around it goes near bickell. touched behind. but it's alzner to play it there to backstrom. and backstrom is able to make them chase. richards again. a dozen seconds to go on this power play to the last 1:20 of regulation time. alzner tries to deal with toews. there will be a penalty coming up and this one is going to be on the blackhawks. the call is a hook. it will be toews to the box. and a power play for the caps late. >> eddie: four-on-four for two second. we saw a penalty that should

have been called on andrew shaw before. wasn't called. he takes a hit from behind on matt niskanen. boy, that in the midsection. real quick and it looked like it got all stick but right in front of the official again. awfully snug all of a sudden late here in period three in the winter classic. >> pierre: everything runs through niklas backstrom on this washington capitals power play. 19 in red. >> mike: niskanen is out of the box, and so the advantage begins. rifled by hjalmarsson and back down. the final minute of regulation time. >> eddie: if the capitals make any adjustment on their power play, everything will be outside on their power plays. >> mike: johansson moving along wit. pivot. backstrom back to niskanen and he couldn't handle. back at center they will drift. . .

. .slowed down by crawford. worked by brouwer. around behind again. thrown into traffic by hjalmarsson and he battles some more. picked up by keith, tries to muzzle it on. gets it as far as center and so it's niskanen. half a minute to go. oduya back onto ovechkin. rattled back in yet again. around it comes to hossa. drills it back along off a capital out of play. center ice face-off. 1:09 of power play time but only 22.2 here in the third. that power play time would carry over. >> eddie: if the capitals are going to shoot the puck in they have to do a better job of retrieving it. can't just shoot the puck in and think it's going to get back to you. very easy to this point for the blackhawks while shorthanded. >> mike: green to ovechkin and back. watched by seabrook, who blocked it. ovechkin tried to follow up. loose puck, shot, score! it's brouwer! and it's 3-2 with 12.9 to go!

>> eddie: instead of shooting the puck in, alex ovechkin is able to carry the puck in. the quick pass from mike green. watch what happens. ovechkin breaks his stick right there. it gets slashed right out of his hands. troy brouwer beats corey crawford. >> pierre: that was just quickness more than anything else. what a shot by brouwer. what a great play. >> eddie: literally a broken play. the stick of ovechkin. he's wondering why there was no penalty. and then brouwer goes glove side. it looked like from that vantage point that crawford was able to see that. i don't think it was a screen at all. >> pierre: i don't think there

was a screen eddie. i just think that release was so quick. fooled crawford just a pinch. >> eddie: brouwer made a complete spinorama there and just find this puck. watch the area of the ice. there's brouwer right next to ovechkin. maybe right there as ovechkin was coming without a stick, maybe at the last second he moved out of the way and brouwer is able to take that shot. you see crawford kind of leaning a little bit, but that's one of those i think you've got to stop. >> mike: saad was guilty of a slash on the play. the penalty sticks. the blackhawks have five guys out right now because the net is empty. >> eddie: that's the right call no question. penalty for breaking the stick of ovechkin. >> mike: to the last ten.

played up the boards one-timer seabrook in front, another shot! and reaching for it isand the game is over! >> mike: the power-play goal at 19:57, 59:47 of the game the capitals led 2-0. it was time for the longest time before brouwer cashed in.

>> mike: it is a classic tradition. and troy brouwer you notice got a couple of extra handshakes from some of his old teammates. >> mike: a wild power play finish. >> eddie: the blackhawks able to get a puck into the offensive zone. holtby thinks about freezing it throws it in the corner kept in at the point. seabrook with a shot and this puck starts taking a crazy carom right off the stick of john carlson right to patrick kane, and braden holtby really

aggressive there with an outstanding stop. and you see the reaction from holtby after s kane with really literally one second remaining in the winter classic. >> mike: joel quenneville, barry trotz, coaching staffs having a word at center ice. all very friendly and respectful. capitals players hold their sticks up to salute the crowd. pierre mcguire troy brouwer. >> pierre: thanks very much doc. game-winning goal, take us through it. >> we've been working hard to get some dbs the entire night. face-off in the neutral zone broke a stick and luckily i was able to pick up the puck turn arnold and throw it in. >> pierre: you've played for the chicago blackhawks played in a

game back at wrigley field. what was this game like compared to that one? >> it was a lot of similar feeling. you know, home game there, home game here. you know family in town, a lot going on. but the crowd here was amazing. you know, the crowd in chicago was phenomenal but, you know, the fans here in washington, we love them to death. you know, they do a great job, put on a great event, and we're real happy we could get a win for them. >> pierre: does this help the hockey environment in washington? >> i think it does. over the last couple years, alex ovechkin, niklas backstrom, they've put a lot of good hockey fans in the seats and, you know, just does nothing but good things for the city of washington and washington. >> pierre: that what's your take-away moment for this winter classic? >> love being on the ice i think was a big moment. it's always fun. they did a great setup over there. obviously the finish being able to score a goal against my old team is also real special. >> pierre: had a fantastic month of december. now you're starting january obviously on a roll. can you springboard by using

this game? i think so. i think we only had one game where we didn't get a point in the month of december and we want to continue that. we had some good games against pittsburgh and the islanders, teams we want to catch in the standings. you know, tonight goes a long way towards catching them. and, you know, we want to continue rolling and tonight was a great stage to do it on dramatic finish and, you know, gi of confidence and excitement going forward here. >> pierre: congratulations and thanks very much for doing this. >> thanks pierre. >> mike: the season will be half over a week from saturday. but washington is in third place, one point ahead of the rangers. and six behind the islanders for second. lots more to come because of the troy brouwer goal. it was the capitals three and the blackhawks two.
