PITTSBURGH -- One of the more noteworthy plays of the 2011 Winter Classic was the collision between Washington Capital forward Dave Steckel and Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby. The play resulted in Crosby being slow to leave the ice at the end of the second period as he was clearly shaken up. The contact happened behind the play as both players were turning to head up the ice, when Crosby was suddenly on the receiving end of a blind side collision.

Crosby ended up returning to the game at the start of the third period and did not miss a shift.
