RAIN!!!

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Wayne Gretzky and Mario Lemieux never took their can-you-top-this rivalry outdoors, back to the purest form of hockey played on ponds instead of indoor palaces. Where whipping winds and a frozen shooting hand can influence the result as much as a hot goaltender.

So this must do: Sidney Crosby vs. Alex Ovechkin, the sport's two biggest names and rivals in every sense, playing the NHL's showcase regular-season game -- and in prime time.

Saturday's Winter Classic outdoor game pairing Crosby's Pittsburgh Penguins and Ovechkin's Washington Capitals was switched Friday from an afternoon start to 8 p.m. EST to avoid predicted rain.

The league wanted to avoid starting the game at the scheduled 1 p.m., only to have to repeatedly stop it before the weather front passes in late afternoon and the temperatures drops.
