The buzz for Pokemon Go might be starting to die down (fix your game, Niantic!), but the game still has a huge passionate base of fans who are still trying their best to catch them all. That includes Patrick Marleau’s family who are hooked on the game which led to the San Jose Sharks forward pulling the family car over so his kids could catch one of the game’s most iconic characters, Pikachu.

Marleau looks almost as excited as his kids! The same feeling isn’t shared by Mrs. Marleau.
And for all of you wondering, Patrick was letting his son play on his phone and we can happily report that Pikachu was successfully captured.
of course. Our son was on Patrick's phone, he said we weren't leaving without it. #HELP
