Hockey Pastor’s church sign foreshadowed Jonathan Drouin’s suspension

Talk about a sign from God.

Remember the Hockey Pastor from last year's playoffs, hockey fans? Tyler Moore, a pastor from St. Petersburg, Fla., spruces up his church's sign with fun and often pun-filled phrases related to his favorite NHL team, the Tampa Bay Lightning. The trend really caught fire during the Lightning's playoff run last year and has since continued into Tampa Bay's rough 2015-16 season.

Now, I’m not saying the Hockey Pastor had some sort of premonition. In hindsight, however, his way with words here really cut closer to the truth than Moore probably thought now that Jonathan Drouin has been suspended from the Lightning.

Set free from NHL paychecks, indeed.
