I always assumed Jagr did it as a tribute to his late grandfather.
But agreed, this is a non-issue and I thought it was entertaining.

I remember way back during the 1999 playoffs when Toronto played Pittsburgh in the Eastern Conference Semi-Finals and eliminated them in Game 6 during overtime, Danny Markov was giving the Jagr salute right back to him during their celebration.
I do t think I've seen Matthew's as pumped up after scoring goals like he's done so far this season. Every goal and he is showing emotion unlike the last 2 years where a lot of them garnered no reaction from him. Me thinks he's on a mission to tear up the league like we have never seen him do

I wonder if it goes back to his goal celebration where he pointed towards the net against Colorado since he already had a goal disallowed just minutes earlier.

SO MUCH YES!!!!!!
Loved every second of it! We need more of this in hockey... is was fun, it was entertaining, it brought out some personality... Matthews and Kane, two of the best giving it to each other. We watch for entertainment... ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED??

I dunno...That celly was a thing of beauty on top of precisely the kind of response you want from your club's leader.
As for the one in Chicago? Absolutely. Like Kane needs anyone to provoke him.
It's a complete myth that players back in the day didn't celebrate.
Exhibit A, Your Honour.

I loved Matthews goal celebration. And I loved Kane's response even more.
What I hate is when nhl players act like politicians/robots.

I thiught it was cool.
I like any celebration, it shows emotion and character. I liked eichels today too even though it wasn’t really a standout one like this but telling the crowd to rise up was nice. It’s entertaining to see.
If you score in the NHL you should be allowed to do what you want except taunt the other team when it’s 7-0.
It beats a boring head nod.
My favourite was Crosby’s rookie year he takes a penalty and cried for like a minute after taunting kovalchuk in Atlanta and pushing him down.
Atlanta went to the pp and kovalchuk slapped one in and then pointed to Crosby in the box coming out, in direct motion it was priceless.

It was awesome. 1 goal games the scorer always celebrates huge.
This game warrants even less gossip... Why? Context
You celebrate like that in a 5-0 or 7-1 thumping of a team. its tasteless.
A 1 goal game... its Normal.
This game, where both goalies made it into a pond hockey game. Mattheews and Kane doing it made that game worthy of remembering and everyone in the arena and watching it on TV left with a smile. Chicago or Toronto

That was a classic celly and response last night. Why not make the game fun like that. I mean as long as they don't start riding their sticks like Tiger Willimas I am all for it.
The game needs stuff like this. Loved Matthews doing it and Kane doing it right back. Loved the smirk from Matthews on the bench. Yes for me!
