During the onslought on ice, brought to you by the St. Louis Blues against the Toronto Maple Leafs, 5-1, there was a bit of a hilarious moment in the concourse of the Enterprise Center.
Paul Bissonnette, former NHLer turned media personality for TNT and mega-popular hockey podcast, Spittin' Chiclets, was watching his favorite team, Toronto, at the Blues arena on Saturday. He also happened to be interrupted by NHL Hall-of-Famer, and Blues legend Al MacInnis.
This was a roller coaster here, but it was a fun moment to be seen.
This was a great moment, and a seriously good hockey jersey find. Bissonette, who is best remembered for his time with the Phoenix Coyotes organization, never actually played for the Blues. He signed a Professional Tryout with the team in 2014, and it never went any further. He played in a couple of preseason games, but did not make the final roster.
Those two fans certainly had a moment of a lifetime, as not only did they meet one of the biggest names in the broadcasting world, but also a Blues legend in MacInnis, who just happened to be strolling around. What a series of events, all to unfold in a short video on social media.
It was a fun night all around as the Blues were able to continue their hot streak on the ice. The 5-1 dismantling of the Maple Leafs now puts the Blues within four points of the second wildcard spot in the Western Conference. This week features a couple of those wildcard contenders as opponents, making this the biggest week of the season.
