In a sea of Flyers faithful, a lone Lightning fan caught the stick of his favorite player

Small world!

A small moment of hockey serendipity just occurred for this fan in Philadelphia. Tampa Bay may be a long way from Philly, but this Tyler Johnson fan was rewarded for his persistence with the stick of his favorite player in the most absurd way.

In the middle of play, Flyers defenseman Brandon Manning flipped the stick of Johnson right out of his hands — and into the hands of this fan in the stands.

Look at how happy that man is with the gift he was just given by the universe. Savor that good feeling, dude. That’s a once-in-a-lifetime present.
