Fans haven’t often seen Vancouver Canucks head coach Bruce Boudreau smile on TV, but Friday at the Bell Center they were treated to an exception provided by none other than Quebec wrestler Kevin Owens.
The latter was a keen viewer of the National Hockey League (NHL) amateur draft and he performed, to put it mildly, when he appeared in front of the cameras of the NHL Network. At the time, Boudreau — an admirer of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) wrestler — was chatting with the hosts about hockey-related topics. Clearly surprised, he flashed an eloquent smile as he shook hands with Owens, who came out to meet him in the midst of his televised intervention.
On screen, we wanted to remind that the Montérégie native was actually the Canucks driver’s favorite wrestler.
The discussion was certainly cordial, and the two men also made sure to have their photos taken for the Canucks’ Twitter account.
