Mom and Dad crack up after both their sons get hauled off with matching penalties.

What a moment.

What a moment between the Ottawa Senators and the Pittsburgh Penguins on Friday night.

In what was otherwise a relatively uneventful game, the Joseph family was treated to a special moment that will likely go down as an amazing family memory for many years to come.

It was already a special game for the Joseph family to begin with given that brother's Pierre-Olivier Joseph of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Mathieu Joseph of the Ottawa Senators were facing off against one another during the game. Like the game itself the clash between the two brothers was largely uneventful, that is at least until late in the third period with less than 5 minutes left to go on the clock.

It was then that Mathieu would find himself on the wrong end of a high stick from his brother Pierre-Olivier, however the stick would hit Mathieu with enough force that he would knock the shaft of the stick right back into his brother's face for some payback. The officials on the ice, only seeing the players react to getting hit in the face, decided that the only call they could make in this situation was to call a double minor.

This resulted in both brother's being hauled off the ice and over to the penalty box, with both Pierre-Olivier and Mathieu laughing in disbelief at what had just transpired. While their reactions alone were well worth the price of admission, it was the reaction from Mom and Dad in the crowd that proved to be truly hilarious.
