Was it too much? Don Cherry thinks so

I know, I know. Who cares what Cherry thinks?

I didn't have a problem with it in the overall context that the goal was scored in.

I think the NHL could use a little showmanship...especially this season.

Yeah I have no problem with it for a few reasons. The kid is a 19 year old rookie scoring his 2nd NHL goal to tie up the game with under 5 seconds left a minute after they felt like they had been robbed of a goal. Plus it's on home ice and the crowd's going crazy. It's not like it was a goal to go up 6-1 or something.

I love the celebrations.

As mentioned, he's a kid who just scored a big tying goal, let him enjoy it.

I agree if it made the game 6-1 and he did that, then there would be a problem, but not in a one- or two-goal game.

 

[SKalber]

Cherry needs to relax a little on this one. I agree with you guys.

 

[Habspatrol]

I assume he's calmed down by now.
