"The old guard fun police strike again."
It's not like the bench isn't allowed to celebrate also, don't get why the author takes issue with this. Personally I'm not a big fan of the fly by fist bumps. If it's a big goal, game winner, heck, even a shoot out goal, I don't care. But when the team is getting beat 5-2 it seems obligitory and all the guys are half into it anyway. If your line is staying on the ice, go to center. If you are changing after the goal and happen to high five on the way to the bench, so be it. Spontaneous celebrations are fun, routine staged ones are lame.
Troutman - totally agree with the stupid NBA hich fives after every attempt, good or bad. What a forced show of fake support.
"Hey Dwight Howard, great job on missing 8/10 uncontested shots from a spot you have attempted thousands of times before, you keep going buddy, we are all proud of you" - no one
