This is an awesome story. During the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs, The Pittsburgh Penguins hockey team have made it so far to the Eastern Conference Finals. They are currently playing the Tampa Bay Lightning in a 7 game series to see who goes to the Stanley Cup Finals. Their success has been due to the play of Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino and Phil Kessel. The trio have been dubbed the ‘HBK Line’, paying homage to the WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels. This has become a trending story on social media, with the Penguins themselves asking the HBK himself to come watch a game for good luck.

Here were the Penguins inviting him to the game:

In honor of the HBK line (which is on ?), we would like to formally invite the original Heartbreak Kid, @ShawnMichaels, to Game 5. You in? — Pittsburgh Penguins (@penguins) May 18, 2016

The trend #GetHBKtoGame5 started trending on twitter and it seems like the Pens fans have relented enough, HBK will be going to game 5 on Sunday to watch the game in Pittsburgh! He will be watching the ‘HBK Line’ in person:

I’m very excited about this Sunday as the Pittsburgh Penguins were nice enough to invit… https://t.co/LVPjufgpbs — Shawn Michaels (@ShawnMichaels) May 19, 2016

They even named a Sandwich after him:

Cheer HBK. Live HBK. Now eat HBK w/ our ham, bacon & kielbasa sandwich, available for Game 4! #HBKSandwich #HBKLine pic.twitter.com/GO19Tnt3dY — Primanti Bros (@primantibros) May 19, 2016

As both a wrestling and hockey fan this is amazing! Game 5 is Sunday and I am sure there will be a lot of coverage for HBK and the ‘HBK Line’.
