Brand new hockey fan Shawn Michaels has finally made it to see the line named after him. The Pittsburgh Penguins invited the WWE legend to see them play in person after the Heartbreak Kid discovered their third line — dubbed the HBK line — via social media. After a non-commital response, Michaels finally sent a video accepting the Pens invitation to Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Final.
This is the first time Michaels will get to take in a hockey game in Pittsburgh, as well as meet his namesake line: Carl Hagelin, Nick Bonino and Phil Kessel. Michaels also got to take in the game with a Pittsburgh champ of a different kind – former Pittsburgh Steeler Brett Keisel.

Not only did Michaels get to hang out with a Super Bowl winner, but it was legend meeting legend when Mario Lemiuex got in the mix:

The Penguins are potentially two wins away from heading to the Stanley Cup Finals, as their series with the Tampa Bay Lightning is tied at two apiece. Whether they come out on top Sunday night or not, Michaels will come away with a one of a kind introduction to the game of hockey. Oh, and a fancy new jersey of course:
