Blues, hockey world embrace Twitter sensation who found sport at perfect moment

The St. Louis Blues have legions of championship-starved fans, but it's one that knows no heartbreak reveling in this experience most.

Tony X, who goes by the Twitter handle @soloucity, became an overnight sensation on social media when by happenstance he found the sport at the perfect moment: Game 7 between the Blues and Chicago Blackhawks.

"White people been hiding hockey from us for years bruh," he tweeted, "this shit lit."

Within moments, Tony X's running commentary was trending throughout the hockey sphere, and, just as quickly, he was picking up important aspects of the game.

While Tony X won't deny he's on the bandwagon, the Blues are making a concerted effort to retain his support.

For his stardom, and in addition to an apparent spot on "Good Morning America," the Blues have invited Tony X to Game 3 of the second round.

And they're eager to outfit him in the proper attire.

Tony X's followers have grown from 1,600 to more than 61,000.
