Man Steals Hockey Stick Meant For Young Canadiens Fan (Video)

The Montreal Canadiens finished off a four-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Lightning in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs Tuesday night, and one lucky child looked destined to bring home a Max Pacioretty stick to remember the game by.

Destiny was briefly interrupted, however, when a grown man leaned in front of the boy and snagged the stick just before the little Habs fan could get his hands on it.

In a surprising show of goodwill, the surrounding fans pointed out the man’s error, and he gave the stick to its intended recipient.

Check out the incident in the video below, and be happy for the rightful owner of an NHL-weathered stick, even if it came from the hands of a Canadien.
