Bobby Ryan’s game-winning goal means a family will now adopt an adorable puppy

More like Pawttawa Senators, amirite?

Bobby Ryan had a lot more than just a win hanging in the balance against the New York Rangers on Sunday. A lot was riding on the shoulders of the Ottawa Senators forward during their afternoon game against the Rangers, and Bobby Ryan had to score.

Why? So a family could get a puppy.

Ryan delivered with just seconds remaining in the second period, giving the Senators a 1-0 lead over the Rangers in what would be Ottawa’s game winner.

To the dad's credit, he said -- during TSN's interview with the entire family during the game -- that he's not backing down on the promise to get his kids their dog, And they already have a name and breed picked out! A pomsky to be named 'Bobby'.
