Comments on: Hot Stuff: Ovechkin Scores 50, Rest of League Pouts http://thehockeywriters.com/hot-stuff-ovechkin-scores-50-rest-of-league-pouts/ All things NHL. All the time.

And at least it was politically correct. A college player I saw recently pulled out the ol' "blind man's cane," a comment on the goaltender's failed shootout save, no doubt. AO was pretty tame with this one...I'm sure he could have called up his buddy Malkin and they could have cooked up something far more outrageous. Canada hat and sunglasses optional. Those who were embarrassed by his little show should count their blessings.

When Ovechkin did his celebration, I felt embarrassed to be a Capitals fan. It was selfish and it could have resulted in an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

I kinda sorta understand the people that do. If anything, his execution was a bit off, it looked a bit silly. But I remember goal celebrations being something to watch. A glove thrown high in the air then "shot" down with a hockey stick a la Duck Hunt. Riding your stick down the ice. Found this stuff on youtube. The top 5 are classic. I would have no problem seeing more like this. Classy? No, not really. Tacky? Probably. Enjoyably? I think so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axmOCYuukQo&feature=PlayList&p=1222549DA05C449B&index=16&playnext=2&playnext_from=PL I can’t say I have a problem with it… I kinda sorta understand the people that do.

Its just a joke when people whine about a guy getting totally pumped every time he scores. I say bring it on AO! The more the merrier!
