Quick recap: My wife and 6 year old son spent the morning pulling "April fools" jokes on each other.. then my wife told him that Johnny had asked for a trade... uh oh jokes over lol. He was devastated and burst into tears! Totally didn't think he'd take it that hard, lol.
Anyways, he eventually realized that it was a joke and after my wife managed to calm him down she tweeted the video at Johnny. He replied:

It went crazy from there. The video now has over 90k views and was on reddit, etc.
Flames staff contacted us when they found out we were going to be at the game tonight and hooked my son up big time. He got to meet Johnny after the game..chatted and got an autographed picture, and met a bunch of other Flames players/coaches. We also did an interview with Ryan Leslie/Flames TV!
What an unbelievable experience. The past 24 hours have been a whirlwind haha we were not prepared for any of this! I've got one ecstatic kid on my hands tonight who won't stop talking about how awesome Gaudreau is and how much he loves the Flames. As he puts it "THIS IS THE COOLEST THING THATS EVER HAPPENED TO ME!!!"
GO FLAMES GO!

Man. Nice story but it starts with an April fools prank on your 6 year old?
You should be extra grateful to the flames for sure.
