The Pittsburgh Penguins’ third line has a new fan, and he’s planning on seeing them play in person Sunday.
The line of Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino and Phil Kessel also is known as the HBK line, which is named after former WWE star Shawn Michaels. The Heartbreak Kid heard about the nickname and decided to check in on the Penguins during Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals against the Tampa Bay Lightning.
The Penguins won Games 2 and 3 to take a two-games-to-one lead in the best-of-seven series, and Kessel was one of the stars of Wednesday’s Game 3. #GetHBKToGame5 started trending Wednesday, and former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Brett Keisel even invited Michaels to watch the game with him at Consol Energy Center.
That was an offer Michaels just couldn’t refuse. Hear what HBK had to say about all the love he’s receiving in Pittsburgh and his plans for Game 5 in the video below.
