Elias Lindholm trolls and mocks Carolina Hurricanes

[tmurfin]

Before their first game there was a photo on Twitter of Lindy holding court with a ton of his former teammates. This had nothing to do with the team or the celebration, it had everything to do with some salty fans. Dude gave 5 years of his life to those fans, blood, sweat and tears. Gets lowballed and shipped out by the organization, not his fault, and what’s he get in return? Boos. He was just giving it back to them.

I’d bet the house they don’t boo their GM when he’s on the jumbotron.

Had no originality or support.

Man, if only he spent effort and time trying to come up with something instead of focusing on improving his game. I bet the Flames are pissed that he's got 60 points instead of just a wealth of mocking celebrations.

 

[tmurfin]

It’s a lame attempt at mockery. Had no originality or support. If anything, it was more cringeworthy than Carolina’s celebrations.

So lame and unoriginal you’re here talking about it

The top two threads on this board are about the Carolina Hurricanes. Who’s paying attention to what now?

lol

don't pretend that you were watching lindholm as a canes player.

I’m not. You’re telling me he didn’t play for the Hurricanes for 5 years? It’s just my imagination?

Well would you look at that.
Elias Lindholm Hockey Stats and Profile at hockeydb.com
374 gp. That’s an awful lot of hockey to play and not sweat. Looks like he missed a few games as well, I’m sure he caught his fair share of sticks and pucks, no blood though? Lucky guy. And all those losing seasons, he must be a cyborg to not shed a few tears out of frustration.


Maybe you’re right.

Hate the Flames, but that was pretty funny. Well done.

 

[Lukin1978]

Good I hope more players mock it

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Eh, if they booed him I don’t blame him- what do ya expect?

 

[nothingbeatshockey]

Classless and juvenile on Lindholm's part.

Don't care about the Carolina post game celebrations one way or the other and can't believe there's a 23 page thread on it. Jesus, it really isn't that big of a deal. If it works for them so be it. They don't mock the other team, they do it after the other team has left the ice and the fans seem to like it so good for them.

His "mocking" them shows they're as much in his head as he is in theirs.

 

[204hockey]

if your gonna dish it as fans prepare to take it back and have fun with it. hockey needs villains and rivals that arent forced like the players even said the game was intense and alot of it had to do with the trade. we cant only boo subban everywhere the more fan player rivalries the better imo.

now next time they play a player will have to check him for his fanbase honor and it creates even more emotion and excitement. and voila fans get there money worth in entertainment and dont need some forced middle school game celly after a win instead!

 

[sting101]

Terrible classless fans.

If he wanted out that's a different story but the Lindholm I watched in Carolina worked his tail off.

Well done Elias...you wouldn't have if you didn't care.

 

[Bizz]

I mean, it's not like he wore a Hartford Whalers jersey for an entire game to remind their former fans in Connecticut that they no longer play there

/mic drop.

 

[Phil McKraken]

Lol, there's like five Finns in this thread getting all mad, like he insulted Finland by mocking that lame celebration.

 

[SlimCharles]

I love that the goalie joined in too. That's funny stuff.

 

[Sam Spade]

Has nothing to do with his character or mocking what the canes do post win. Canes fans were apparently booing him. As a canes fan I say good for him. He didn’t ask to be traded, wasn’t demanding too much money, he was part of the new ownership putting their stamp on the team and “changing the culture” which ends up being a slight on he and Hanifin that’s ridiculously undeserved. They were hardly the problem.

It literally has everything to do with those things.

 

[Star Ocean]

Op failed to mention he was booed.

 

[1865]

What a classless *******. No wonder they traded him away.

It's things like this that are the reason this league has no character.

 

[Section88]

Lol how do people get offended by this. Grow up

 

[Unkki]

Gotta love Lindy.

And gotta hate some of my not-so-smart fellow countrymen. I mean, what the heck?

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Good I hope more players mock it

Why? I don’t give a shit about the canes or their postgame antics- but 9 year old me mighta been entertained. That’s when I fell in love with hockey- this might have made that happen even faster.

I just don’t get it.. don’t like it, don’t watch. It’s something extra for kids and people who enjoy it, it hurts no one, gives the fans something extra they can take or leave-

Actually, I like it just cause it’d make it easier to get out of the stadium. Seriously, that is it’s only impact on me.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

I don't know if i should cringe or laugh, probably did both

He should've had Hanifin and Ryan with him to make it truly epic. Especially because all of them scored.

But yeah pretty classless by the Canes fans.. Lindholm didn't deserve the reaction he got during the game. You can understand why he wanted to shove it in. And let's be real, he's in a position to do so. The team is on the top of the league and he's having a career year.

 

[Rogal Dorn]

Imagine being offended by this.
