I don't know if everyone has seen this story yet, but if you are like me you are a sucker for feel good stories.

This one is about two brothers, Ken and Geoff Moyse, who are Flyers fans from St. John's Newfoundland that roadtripped out to Montreal to watch the Flyers play the Habs. From CBC News:

The brothers from St. John's headed to the Bell Centre for the playoff tilt wearing their bright orange Flyers jerseys.

"We had to walk from the hotel all the way from Ste-Catherine Street to the Bell Centre and we debated whether we were going to wear the jerseys," Geoff said.

The Moyses got some heckles from Habs fans but when they arrived at the arena, they happily made their way to their seats in the nosebleed section.

What the men didn't know was that their seats happened to be near the luxury box reserved for the visiting team's owner, Ed Snyder.

They heard someone behind them saying: "Good to see you guys. Glad you could come and cheer our guys on."

It was Snyder.

The Flyers' owner had spotted the two orange jerseys among the sea of red in the Bell Centre.

Speaking with the brothers, Snyder found out they had come from Newfoundland and invited them to join him in his booth.

The guys got to watch the game with the Flyers' top brass but the biggest thrill was yet to come.

When the Flyers won the game, they were swept along with the party into the team's dressing room.

The two brothers are going to be flown to Philly for Game 3 and 4 courtesy of the Flyers organization. Well done Flyers, well done.
