Can someone explain the Canes celebration?

[LOFIN]

How is that cringe? I didn’t say they started it, but that the teams copying them clearly adopted it from them when that soccer team had that magical run and made it mainstream in the western part of the world.

It just feels wrong, like if people would be calling pizza as american food because it was made popular by success in america.

And no, it was not an offense directed to you, just a general annoyance I feel about the subject.

I’d love to see the Canes have a great season and make a run at another Cup.

Professional hockey is a ritualistic form of war. Grown men train year-round, paying attention to minute detail, to gain an edge on, to vanquish, the other, to win the triumph. No one's killing, but no one's letting up on the physicality either. The sport has a stoic and manic aura about it, whether the happy-go-luckies like it or not. Contrived celebrations are worthless detritus.

Counterpoint: there was a conconted media ado many years back about the ban of earrings and such trinkets in the Finnish Defense Forces, which is everyone's business in Finland because of the conscription.

So they went and asked a high-ranking General about the matter.

He kicked everyone's legs from under them by volunteering only a stoic non-aggravated notion that he doesn't really care and that the warriors of forntime used to decorate themselves with all kinds on shiny crap.

this is a bit cringeworthy. i wonder how many players were forced to participate in this buffoonery, i doubt everyone was in favour of this idea.

In that case you collect your paycheck and protest by lackluster paddling.

I only hate it because its unoriginal. Cringe worthy when the toronto fc fans started doing it right after Iceland made it famous at the euros. Have fun. But be original.

You some kind of expert in war?

You should see some of the silly shit those of us who actually fight wars get up to. Make what the Canes do after a game look like a f***ing squaredance.

Anyone who feels cringe watching grown men celebrate and have fun are, unfortunately, projecting.

 

[ottomaddox]

LOL @ flash mobs

 

[Butch 19]

It's fun but wouldn't have hurt to have a little more originality than just ripping off Iceland. More power to them though.

How am I supposed to know what they do in ICELAND?!?

And if they do this, what, they called dibs!? no one can ever do this except them, in the whole world??

 

[Nadal On Clay]

Yikes that is cringeworthy.

"It's fun" ... many people perceive "fun" as something subjective. Fun can be getting hammered with alcohol out of oblivion and not remembering where they are the next day. Fun can also be taking a beautiful girl for a walk at the beach in a completely sober state. Fun is super subjective and if these kids are having fun with it great, I'm not one to spoil it for them. At the same time I also don't want people to tell me what I'm supposed to find cringe worthy or not. THIS is cringe worthy to me and I have to turn off the TV or change the channel when they do it. I just can't watch it because it looks just as silly as soccer players emulating some fortnite celebrations on the pitch. You wanna do it in front of million people, have at it, knock yourself out. I still think it looks extremely silly and wouldn't participate in it if I won the Stanley Cup and World Cup on the same day.

But that's just me, an old man dinosaur who doesn't know how to have fun, right?

 

[cgf]

Easy, it’s fun and the canes are under the misconception that the hockey world approves of fun.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Bunch of wierdos, jesus.

No, it's just straight up cringey.

I liked it at first but are they going to keep doing it?

It just feels like cheap marketing to me.

Sounds like it

You’re entitled to react to it however you want to. I think it’s incredibly goofy and would feel embarrassed doing it if I was forced to participate because I was on the team...but it’s nice to see athletes enjoying themselves.

These guys get to play a game for a career because of how incredible they are, so what would be worse than seeing that money sap the game of the joy & emotion that we all played for? That’s why I love silly stuff like this that gives the NHL the tiniest smidgeon of personality...even if I find the form these kids choose to express that joy in, odd...despite how much the hockey powers-that-be hate personality & fun. You’re free to disagree but I think that taking the emotion out of sports is always a disservice.

There’s just something supremely disonant about listening to someone like captain-serious Jonathan Toews talk about a children’s game with the seriousness of a commando who’s about to get dropped into the jungles of Myanmar to protect Muslim refugees from ethnic cleansing. Like his family would be put to death if Toews ever let himself emote.

Yup and watching people dance and have fun is cringey to me while riding the wall. I’m definitely not projecting either

I know that this is a shock to hear on the internet...but not everything is about you ;-)

Sometimes the players do things for themselves

Are they going to keep celebrating with their fans after each win?

Is that a serious question?

Sorry for having an opinion on something on a message board.

It's up there with Sens Gladiator man, and that bizarre Vegas pregame show in the playoffs.

 

[GodPucker]

I cringe when I see my nephew do dances like that lol. A grown man doing it. Hella cringe worthy. Looks like he's not all there doing that dance,

Yeah I edited in a smiley because that read a lot harsher than I meant it to

I just saw a nice set up to make a smartass joke while we waxed poetic about millennials and internet-culture ITT.
