Which has always been my view on it. I hate seeing replays of that goal. It only matters if you win game 7. They didn't. So it's just a dude making a fool of himself.

This is absolutely the correct viewpoint. Yes it was playoffs, but man, you didn't win ####. You don't slide 3/4 of the ice in celebration unless that was the elimination goal...
But even then, you celebrate WITH your teammates. You don't skate AWAY from them.
Imagine how cringey it would have been if Johnny started skating away from everyone last night to celebrate himself.
