During the fifth round of the NHL Draft, Vancouver Canucks head coach Bruce Boudreau was at the NHL Network desk providing commentary.
In one of the most purely wholesome on-air surprises in recent memory, WWE star (and Boudreau’s fellow Canadian) Kevin Owens made a surprise visit, catching Bruce mid-sentence and delighting the longtime hockey man.

Look at his face! He’s so happy!
The Canucks were also in on the surprise, as you’d expect:

Owens offered his praise for Boudreau, too:
What a guy! https://t.co/w3gYY43zOo

There’s something about seeing Boudreau flushed and basically reduced to giggling by the chance to meet his favorite professional wrestler that’s absolutely perfect content for a Friday afternoon.
