Flyers had poorly timed, but hilarious social media post

Before Tuesday's game between the Philadelphia Flyers and Tampa Bay Lighting, Philly's tweeted that the team was going to bring the electricity for their game.

It turned out, nobody was bringing the electricity.

Literally.

Play had to be stopped and delayed for nearly 10 minutes due to a power outage during play. When play finally resumed, the game was continued with lower light than normal, with one end of the rink being darker than the other.

At least the social media team had a sense of humor about it.
