"Ya never know who you’ll run into at a @mapleleafs playoff game! Anyone who knows me, knows that @metallica have been a constant in my life. A soundtrack throughout my entire life. I’m sure that’s the same for a lot of people reading this. Sometimes it’s awesome to meet your heroes. I got to tell him that Ruby LOVES Metallica. Papa Het & Cope. Whoda thunk it? And the Leafs won in OT!!! Helluva night I will truly never forget."
