Thanks to social media, it's easier now more than ever for fans and players to find out about breaking news as it happens, whether it be through an alert on by simply scrolling through Twitter.

That said, sometimes players find out about news in interesting and unique ways.

During the NFL pre-season, for example, J.J. Watt found out about his brother's incredible game thanks to a text from Kendrick Lamar.

On Thursday, Patrik Laine of the Winnipeg Jets found about his teammate Bryan Little's contract extension in his media scrum and his reaction to the news was quite awesome.

That's about as genuine of a reaction as you'll get from a player.  Maybe media members should tell players about breaking news in media scrums all the time rather than tweeting the news out, just so we can get more reactions like this one.
