On Saturday, just before an NHL-mandated trade / waiver freeze for the expansion draft, the Nashville Predators, Philadelphia Flyers and Vegas Golden Knights closed a three-team trade. The Predators sent defenseman Ryan Ellis to the Flyers to replace defenseman Philippe Myers and forward Nolan Patrick. The Golden Knights then acquired Patrick from the Preds for forward Cody Glass.
Hockey player Ryan Ellis, who doesn’t have Twitter, didn’t tweet a reaction to the trade, but the NASCAR driver Ryan ellis, who is a huge fan of the Capitals, certainly did. And many say he won Hockey Twitter on Saturday.

For me, the height of this stupidity was when Bleacher Report mistook NASCAR Ellis for that of the NHL, which spawned a Deadspin story.
In real life, NASCAR Ellis plays beer league hockey and has adapted for George Mason University in college. He is originally from northern Virginia. And for real do not like Flyers.

When asked to comment on his new social media fame, Ryan replied, “Lololol. I am such a loser.
Indeed my friend. Indeed.
