The NHL's trade deadline came at 3 PM ET on Friday afternoon. In the hours and days leading up to it, there was a flurry of moves.
Some of these involved the Philadelphia Flyers, who are currently six points out of the second wild card spot in the Eastern Conference. This included shipping winger Bobby Brink to the Minnesota Wild for D-Man David Jiricek.
Another move involved the Flyers signing a member of their AHL affiliate, the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, to a two-way NHL deal.
Now, that's clearly not the Garrett Wilson of New York Jets fame in that photo, but imagine this news pops up on your phone via a push notification (as was the case for me).
There's a good chance it led to a moment of confusion to the point that you wondered if you were hallucinating.
Some Jets fans' probably went through that too, with an added dash of horror.
It's a pretty funny, cross-sport mash-up.
