The 2008 Winter Classics was played at Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo, NY in front of a record setting crowd of 71,217. The previous record of 57,167 was set in 2003 at the Heritage Classic, played in Edmonton Alberta.
The teams wore vintage jerseys for the event, with the Penguins wearing powder blue jerseys for the first time since 1973. The Sabres wore white jerseys from 1978 through 1996.
With the snow falling and the frigid temperatures dropping, the stage was set for what turned out to be an exciting, nail-biting game. Pittsburgh's Colby Armstrong struck first blood early in the first period. Buffalo tied the game at 1 just over a minute into the second period. The score would remain deadlocked throughout the remainder of regulation and overtime. Buffalo and Pittsburgh scored once each throughout the first three rounds. As the shootout went into extra rounds, it all came down to Penguins' superstar, Sidney Crosby. Crosby neatly tucked the puck under goaltender Ryan Millers pads to win the game. Crosby was named the 1st start of the game.
Petr Sykora wore this 2008 Winter Classic jersey during the pre-game Warm-ups. The Winter Classic Patch is sewn to the upper left chest of the jersey. A Penguins set tag is sewn into the rear hem of the jersey. A MeiGray Group tag is also sewn into the jersey. The jersey is registered into the MeiGray Game Worn Authentication Program as MGG # E 05806.
