I understand that in the context of them getting blown out it would have inappropriate to celebrate as if the team hadn't been embarrassing themselves all night, but where is the line with this stuff? I don't think anything about that fist pump was bordering on/about to delve into immaturity.
Is Chytil allowed to score a goal, skate over to his teammates and animatedly start yelling "c'mon boys lets go, let's keep it moving!" to try to build something positive out of the wreckage or does he have to look like he's on Lunesta the rest of the night because they are most likely not going to score 7 goals and come back.
Again, I understand that we don't want to see our young players carry themselves in an immature way but I think it comes down to either it is or it isn't and nothing about that fist pump (IMO) was off base. I respect anyone who sees it differently, but I feel like emotion policing is just another one of those things in hockey culture that can be taken too far sometimes.
