Gabriel Landeskog surprises everyone in Philadelphia this evening
An awesome moment!
The Philadelphia Flyers honored Erik Johnson for 1,000 NHL games played prior to tonight's game against the Colorado Avalanche.
The Flyers chose tonight's game because of Johnson's long history with the Avs, which of course culminated with a Stanley Cup championship in 2022. Johnson still has several close friends on the Avs, so it made complete sense for tonight's game to be time for a celebration. Pretty cool, right?
What's even cooler is that the Avs and Flyers teamed up to surprise Johnson and his family by flying out Avalanche captain, and Johnson's best friend, Gabriel Landeskog. The Avs' captain surprised his best friend on the ice and the pair had an embrace on the ice.
