HILARIOUS

I love when Atheletes can tastefully give it back to the fans. One of the best things I've ever witnessed Brett Lutes of the QMJHL's Montreal Rocket was getting hounded by 2 guys in my section all game long. They'd chirp at him, he'd wink as he skated by. While he was on the bench (directly across from out section) they'd be making faces at each other, waiving, motioning to fight, flex etc. Everyone was getting a kick out of it.

When Lutes scored his thrid goal of the game (in a 4-3 loss IIRC) he made a V-Line for our section trash-talking, banged his head off the glass then skated backwards to his bench to do the glove tap thing. Possibly the funniest thing I've ever seen in sport. I was litterally on the floor laughing with tears coming out of my eyes.

When it's done all in fun, it just adds to the game in my opinion.

He was gracefull in the loss, as were the guys who hounded him all game long. They have him a HUGE ovation as he was announced as one of the game's 3 stars.
