Young Capitals fan gets emotional after receiving a game stick on his birthday

In case you missed it last night, the Edmonton Oilers dropped a 3-2 decision to the Washington Capitals in Edmonton, leaving the Oilers faithful with a sour taste in their mouths.

So to those fans, I've got something to cheer you up a bit.

Check out this young Capitals fan receiving a game stick from the team following last night's victory:

How great is that!?

Even better is the fact that the boy's mother commented on the post, saying that it was actually his son's birthday yesterday!

That's awesome. A fan for life, no doubt.
