Toronto Maple Leafs forward Scott Laughton got into it with Winnipeg Jets fans on Saturday night, and there is no denying that the interaction was pretty funny.
Scott Laughton has been coming into his own with the Toronto Maple Leafs over the last couple of months, and the fans are absolutely loving it.
There was no better example of this than on Saturday, when the Maple Leafs were taking on the Winnipeg Jets in enemy territory.
The Jets fanbase was giving it to the Leafs throughout the game, but as we already know by now, it was Toronto who had the last laugh with a 4-3 win.
After the game, much was made of how Auston Matthews made a complete mockery of the Jets and their fans. As it turns out, Laughton was going even harder.

In some new footage that is going viral on social media, Laughton can be seen doing a "boo-hoo" motion to Jets fans while climbing the bench to celebrate the team's overtime win.
It is some hilarious footage, and it is proof that Laughton is someone who is extremely passionate about playing for the Maple Leafs.
Laughton is currently looking for a contract extension, and the Maple Leafs are reportedly interested in re-signing the forward.
While his offensive numbers have been lacking, there is no doubt that he has made up for it with his grit and his grind, which is what the Leafs need on the fourth line.
Whether or not Laughton can keep this up is something we will track, especially with the Leafs looking to get a playoff berth.
Overall, it is going to be a fun stretch of hockey to end the season, and Laughton himself seems to be having the most fun of anyone.
