Nick Kypreos is one of the most recognized names in the game of hockey. He played over 400 games in the National Hockey League, then went on to become a very good commentator.

Recently, 'Kurtis From Alberta' on Twitter shared a very heartwarming video of his son, who wants to be just like his dad.

Something wholesome for your Sunday evening.Heard my 10 year old son and 8 year old daughter upstairs making noise. Then he sent me this lol. (yeah he's an oilers fan, don't ask lol) made my heart happy.
Kids are fun.❤️#LeafsForever #Leafs @EdmontonOilers #Oilernation #Oilers pic.twitter.com/Ol4SJvUtNu� 🇨🇦🍻Kurtis From Alberta🍻🏒 (@leafguy403) October 23, 2022

Most of the responses to the video were positive, but some definitely went overboard and made some rude comments towards his son. What made it more than just some typical internet trolls is that Nick Kypreos liked the tweet:

Immediately though, Kypreos came out and made an announcement that it was an accident, which we 100% believe. This was obviously an accident, and by no way should Kypreos be receiving any backlash for this, but it hasn't stopped people from making their internet troll comments.

100% Scott. @leafguy403 original tweet was the only one I intended to «like» As someone who follows @MapleLeafs daily, I've always admired people like Kurtis who are passionate for their team. Thanks to those who kindly pointed my swiping error.
