When then two-year-old Tyler Avolia cheered like crazy as Pittsburgh Penguins’ star Sidney Crosby scored in the opening round of the 2012 Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Philadelphia Flyers, his family had no idea he would be a viral sensation overnight.

It was a combination of Avolia’s reaction to the goal, the camera happening to be on him at the perfect moment, and Penguins broadcaster Phil Bourque’s flawless timing with the “Buckle up, baby! Are you kidding me?” call.

Take a trip back in time to watch the awesome moment:

 

 

Penguins’ fans will be hoping for another “Buckle up, baby” type goal or two from superstar Sidney Crosby tonight, with the Penguins taking on the Ottawa Senators in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals, with a trip to the Stanley Cup on the line.

 According to WTAE-TV Pittsburgh, it appears ‘Buckle up, baby” Tyler Avolia was still a Penguins fan in 2016; so we’re sure he’ll be cheering the Penguins on tonight against Ottawa.

 

 

Who knows, maybe the “Buckle up, baby” will even be in attendance?
