The Pittsburgh Penguins so-called third line has a prominent new fan.
Made aware of the red-hot Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino, and Phil Kessel line, former WWE superstar and current ambassador Shawn Michaels - also known as 'The Heartbreak Kid' - gave his seal of approval to the Penguins Monday night:
Not sure my "blessing" means much but anybody w/an #HBK line is OK with me!! 😄 #PITvsTBL https://t.co/xa9E5aegxp

Thanks to a Kessel goal in the first period of Game 2, and the fact he started paying attention to the HBK craze, Michaels found himself trending on Twitter in Pittsburgh and couldn't help but tune in for the second period.
