Live from Soldier Field: Hawks 5, Penguins 1

The defending Stanley Cup champs host Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins at Soldier Field.

Hockey, the outdoors and snow. It's just meant to be, really. Especially with the Penguins in town (see what the NHL did there, er, fortuitously?). Check here all game for video, photos, commentary and general mayhem.

3rd & 7 37yd

Sheldon Brookbank said everything is fine with his family after they left practice in an ambulance last night. #Blackhawks

Your future #Blackhawks weathercast: snowing steadily in Crystal Lake, has been for an hour.

They brought extra goals just in case, you know, they freeze into oblivion. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BhribkJCIAAWM_A.jpg

Press box is absolutely loaded. This isn't just hockey anymore. This is much bigger. Ice crews doing their absolute best to keep snow piles off the rink. Not an easy task.

OH in the #SoldierField press box: "Those guys aren't going to be able to play those bagpipes. They're gonna freeze!"

DAN BYLSMA: "I think as we speak right now it's starting to snow a little bit out there. Am I correct?" UH, YES SIR. YOU ARE KINDA CORRECT.

Ice Crew's going with the nontraditional coats and pants tonight. Because, you know, winter. #Blackhawks

At the game? Or cozy warm in your living room? Either way ... tweet us your photos (selfies preferred) and we'll RT them to our audience!

Teams warming up on their respective ends. I don't care which squad you're rooting for ... how awesome does it look seeing NHL athletes taking practice shots on net in winter beanies with poof balls on top?

No Blackhawks-Penguins tweets here tonight. I'm running the @GameChicago account tonight. Please follow it if you aren't already!

I'm setting the over/under for wipeouts per minute in this Stadium Series #Blackhawks game at 3.

NHL Commish Gary Bettman being interviewed on NBC, and you can hear fans heckling him off-camera. Heh. -- JD

18 degrees and cloudy with snow showers is the official forecast. But to the brave fans who are sitting at an outdoor hockey game in March, the forecast to you is simply: "IT'S F*$%ING FREEZING"!!!!

@ChristopherSosa: I'm going to say it'll appears as if the Blackhawks and Penguins put their skates on the wrong feet, after lubing them up with butter.

by sely 3/2/2014 12:43:04 AM
You give @LennyGilmore field access & a fisheye iPhone 5 lens for #StadiumSeries ? He gives you a vivid story via photography. Killer.

The #Blackhawks take to the ice. #StadiumSeries http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BhrtQZ0CYAAr0GA.jpg

Players have gone off to chill for a bit. Figuratively. It's snowing harder. Stands are half full. Little more than 20 min to puck drop.

Is that Mike Adamle wearing a Hawks hat during a pre-game live shot? Seriously? #StadiumSeries

The ice looks so clean after the Zamboni gets done with it. For about 8 seconds. #Blackhawks

Blackhawks making their way onto the ice just before warm up. We're 15 minutes from puck drop! Stadium Series is killer.

by sely 3/2/2014 12:56:42 AM
@SeanEly: Butter, eh? Is that what the players are using to cover their faces?

by RedEye Chicago 3/2/2014 12:57:03 AM
Stadium Series puck snagged by photo editor Lenny Gilmore during warmups. Awesome logo touched with some fresh Chicago snow. Don't worry, he returned it to the ice :)

There's nothing quite like a delay between the audio commentary & what you're watching live. Really Fs w/ your patience. OH WELL.

.@LennyGilmore pressing his face up against the boards for this one. Hockey in a snow globe. But seriously. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BhsFJzNCYAEDvSy.png
