In a snow-filled game in Buffalo the goalies were expected to have their work cut out for them, but due to past experience they both shined.The 2008 Winter Classic took place in front of 71,217 fans at Ralph Wilson Stadium today, where the host Sabres fell 2-1 to the Pittsburgh Penguins after a shootout in a game that was as predictable as, well, the weather.The outdoor game forced both teams to adapt to the weather conditions that seemed to change with the period. Sabres' goalie Ryan Miller Penguins' goalie Ty Conklin seemed to be the two most comfortable players, having both played outdoor in the Cold War, and the Heritage Classic respectively.Things started out with a bang when Colby Armstrong sent home a rebound off a Sidney Crosby rush just 21 seconds in. Shortly after though, play was slowed drastically by the elements. Snow started to pile up on the ice forcing a dry scrape halfway through the first period and a hole in the ice took about 10 minutes to repair, which kept the pace of the first period from ever really reaching its full potential.The second period saw the game speed up drastically after the snow fall became lighter and the Sabres seemed to find their comfort zone, playing the quick paced kind of game they normally do.Brian Campbell sparked their turnaround early when he snapped home a wrist shot from the high slot over the shoulder of Conklin just 1:25 into the period.

The Sabres dominated the rest of second frame outshooting the Penguins 14-2, but they were unable to capitalize any further due to the strong play of Conklin.Keeping with the unpredictable nature of Buffalo weather, the third period saw the wind and snowfall pick up again and the Penguins improved on their efforts from the second.Another few ice repairs and flooding at the midpoint slowed down the period much like the first, but the players didn’t seem to mind as the Penguins, particularly young guns Jordan Staal, Evgeni Malkin, and Crosby, created lots of chances in the Sabres' end. Miller was strong in nets though and shut the door on the Penguins offense, forcing the game into overtime.The Penguins started overtime down a man after Armstrong took a hooking penalty as time expired, but Conklin turned aside all seven shots he faced in the extra frame to force a shootout that ended the Winter Classic in the most fitting of ways.Ales Kotalik opened the scoring for the Sabres, but Kris Letang countered and the stage was set for Crosby to shoot. He pushed the puck through the snow, and then went five-hole on Miller with the game winner.. Some say he's only gone to America for the money.Some say he'll never change public perception about soccer in the States.But although David Beckham has his doubters, there's no man on the planet with a keener knack for turning everything he touches to gold.There are plenty of more skillful players out there, but there are NONE who manage to grab people's attention like Becks. Wherever he goes, he gets a movie-star reception and his sheer marketability makes him a dream signing for ANY club in the world.Beckham has an almost hypnotic quality about him.

If you're flicking through a magazine at the doctor's office and notice an article about him, chances are you'll pause to read it!I'm a huge Manchester United fan, and when we lost Beckham it was like losing a member of the family. His move to Real Madrid was so hyped that it was even rumoured his physical would be covered live on television.Watching Beckham on a football pitch is almost like watching a mythical figure in live action fairytale endings seem to follow him wherever he goes. If it hadn't been for ONE stroke of bad fortune last season, he could have been hoisting the MLS Cup with the LA Galaxy.Before I get too many comments about one man's not making a team, and reminders that Beckham hardly played last season, let me be clear about my point:When "Goldenballs" laces up his boots, magic happens.England fans will forever remember that night at Old Trafford when the Three Lions needed a draw to qualify for the World Cup Finals. They were down 2-1 heading into stoppage time, and won a free kick.Beckham had taken upwards of a dozen free kicks in the match and missed them all. As he placed the ball into position for this one, the commentator set the scene:"If David Beckham scores this, the roof will come off. This has to be the last chance!"Becks delivered in trademark fashion, sent the fans crazy, and cemented himself as England's saviour.The announcer's reaction?"I don't believe it, David Beckham scores the goal to take England to the World Cup Finals....GIVE THAT MAN A KNIGHTHOOD!"Beckham had a troubled first year with the Galaxy, but you can bet your bottom dollar that when the new season rolls around, all eyes will be once again on one man.And I for one certainly wouldn't bet against his being a hero in Los Angeles..
