Fan makes Tyler Seguin a Twitter offer he can’t refuse: In-N-Out burger

Via Lindsey Dortch

Tyler Seguin is preparing for the Dallas Stars' season, hitting the ice and getting back into game shape. But hey, it’s still the summer – some nutritional cheating is allowed, right?

Lindsey Dortch is a University of North Texas student and a huge Stars fan. Obviously knowing how arduous the training process is for an NHL player, she offered up a treat for Seguin via Twitter, if he wanted it: Something from that glorious temple of takeout, In-N-Out burger.

And like any human with a functioning cerebellum (who doesn’t have moral or health objections to sizzling red meat between two buns), Seguin said yes.

So she and her friend hit up In-N-Out, snagged Seguin’s order and headed for the rink.

Mission accomplished, according to her Twitter:

Simply the greatest burger-related hockey moment since Andrew Hammond got McDonald's for life. Hopefully In-N-Out seizes the moment and makes the double/double with ketchup the SeguinBurger on its secret menu ...

Josh Friemel of the Dallas Morning News got some reaction, post-double double:

“Always fun to interact with fans using social media, but that was definitely a first!” Seguin said. “Great burger.”

So how was the whole experience for Dortch? “It was awesome,” Dortch said. “I didn’t really get to talk to him, but I wanted to talk to him after the game but I couldn’t talk to him because I forgot how to speak for a second.”

Another satisfied customer and another odd social media dream come true for an NHL fan.

We eagerly await the Penguins fans who decides to show this moxy in providing Phil Kessel with his first Primanti Bros. sandwich. Because hot dogs are so last season for Phil …
