Hey there, time traveller!

Winnipeg’s overnight forecast is calling for a whiteout… with a hint of Old Spice.
Twitter users joked online Thursday about the classic deodorant brand becoming the signature scent for Winnipeg Jets fans.
The face of the Old Spice brand, Isaiah Mustafa, tweeted about his newfound love for the local hockey team Wednesday evening.
You might remember Mustafa from the quirky Old Spice campaign where he was declared "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like."
After his favourite team, the Los Angeles Kings, didn’t make the Stanley Cup playoffs, Mustafa decided to root for an NHL team farther north.
Hey @NHLJets, since my beloved @LAKings are resting up for next year, my fanship is on loan to you for the duration of #StanleyCupPlayoffs.
— Isaiah Mustafa (@isaiahmustafa) April 15, 2015
In the Old Spice ads, Mustafa usually appears shirtless, wearing only a towel, which he alluded to in his next tweet.
So @NHLJets, I’m gonna need a Byfulglien jersey and… I can just wear my towel for the #Winnipegwhiteout, right? #StanleyCupPlayoffs
— Isaiah Mustafa (@isaiahmustafa) April 15, 2015
Winnipeg Jets fans reacted accordingly, embracing their new friend into the whiteout frenzy.
Mustafa is also a former Arizona State University football player and actor. He also appeared in the movie Horrible Bosses.
