    Winter Classic moved to 8 p.m.

    PITTSBURGH (AP) - The NHL is moving the Capitals-Penguins Winter Classic to a nighttime start to avoid predicted daytime rain in Pittsburgh.
    The game, scheduled to start shortly after 1 p.m. EST on Saturday, has been moved to 8 p.m. It will be the first of the four Winter Classics to be played at night.
    The NHL announced the switch Friday so the 67,000 fans - about 20,000 from Washington - had time to adjust their plans. Forecasters are calling for nearly an inch of rain before it lets up late in the day.

    An inch of rain? That ice will be in terrible condition.

          What does that mean, "it will be the first of the four winter classics to be played at night?"

                It means that this game will be played in the middle of the day, in sunlight...
