PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Flyers captain Claude Giroux and his wife Ryanne shared some big news on Valentine's Day. The couple is expecting a baby boy in August.

"August can't come soon enough," tweeted Giroux. "Love you little man."

Ryanne tweeted a photo of an ultrasound alongside a bowl of Valentine's candy hearts that spell out "August 2019."

After practice Thursday, Giroux said he can't wait.

"It's great news, I think when something happens like that, it's exciting," Giroux said. "Maybe a little bit less sleep but other than that, it's something I'm very excited about."

And you know Gritty is excited to be an "UNCLE GRITTY."

Or better yet, maybe a "Gritfather?"

Congratulations to the Girouxs ... and Gritty!
