I was disgusted.
The only exception to this was Iggy, but that was strictly a pre-game ceremony where it was acceptable to applaud him. Once the puck drops, you are mortal enemies.

I'm never cheering for the opposition, but as a hockey fan I can appreciate a great save or fantastic offensive play. Mild, begrudging applause out of respect for an outstanding individual effort is ok on occasion.
