Hahahaha ... good luck with that Dave. Smith has a bit of the Kassian crazy eye vibe about him. Might be biting off more than he can handle there.
With the stick flip thing, I can see both sides of the argument. Like Draisaitl said, as an opponent you feel disrespected. I also agree with what Big Save Dave said about being able to celebrate in this league. As a fan I like a little celebration. A player can go too far - but I don’t think the stick flip was
that over the top. Everyone has a different standard I guess. Some fans (hk97) even jumped all over Gagner and Hall earlier this season for what their post goal celebrations ‘revealed’ about their ‘lack of character’.
But for me, Rittich’s flip wasn’t nearly as bad on the scale of going overboard as say, Yakupov’s slide celly. I like the tweet above that says if Rittich wants to celly like a big shot then he shouldn’t have a word to say any time an Oiler goes nuts after scoring on him. Fair is fair.
