People are probably overreacting in this thread, what do you expect when its the division rivals? But that's still hot dogging, it just is. I remember hearing when Fleury did basically the exact same thing, there were even Flames players who didn't like it. And that was game 6 OT!
I actually like when a player shows emotion, its why I love Ovechkin. I think its the running past all his teammates part I didn't like, it was just so over the top. And did he break down in tears at the end? C'mon man..
Got dinner with the gf's family tonight, all big Oiler fans, and they've always overtly hated Ovechkin for his hot dogging. I can't wait to hear how they all love Yakupov's celebration just so I can laugh at the double standard. If Ovy did that they'd hate it, guaranteed.
