Gritty tweets that the NHL draft lottery is rigged after the Flyers drop down a spot

Gritty has spoken!

I think Gritty speaks for all Philadelphia Flyers fans here after the NHL draft lottery.

Tuesday marked the NHL’s draft lottery, when the lottery balls decide the fate of where the teams pick for the upcoming entry draft. This year, the Montreal Canadiens will have the No. 1 overall pick after coming into the day with the best odds. And yet, there was one surprise in the mix with the New Jersey Devils jumping from fifth to draft at the No. 2 spot.

As the Devils jumped up, the Flyers dropped down, with the team’s fourth-best odds not enough to get them into a top spot as Philadelphia slid to No. 5 overall thanks to New Jersey winning the second spot. And Gritty was having none of it.

Gritty has officially spoken, folks! The NHL draft lottery was legitimately, absolutely, 100 percent rigged. You heard it here first!
