Jets Win The (Second) Draft Lottery: Twitter Reacts To Laine

May 1, 2016, 10:30 EDTUpdated:
Sure, there was a lot of talk about the Toronto Maple Leafs winning the first NHL draft lottery Saturday night, and almost just as much talk that the Oilers didn’t win a top three pick. So it can seem like the Winnipeg Jets winning the second lotto and thus the second pick of the draft was a tad overlooked.
But while Twitter didn’t break with the Jets making the huge jump, the idea of Finnish dynamo Patrik Laine heading to The Peg did get quite a few people talking on social media..
Just a quick reminder that his name is pronounced “line-eh” and not “layne” .. Easy mistake to make.
Of course some fans enjoyed his pre-lotto “face time” interview that he did with Sportsnet..
Just in case you think it’s a for sure thing that the draft goes Matthews then Laine, some people would beg to differ..
In the end though, there is reason for Jets fans to be excited…
