Big deal? What did the Ontario player say to him?
Unless you're directly involved or close enough to hear/see exactly what happened, you're making assumptions. Leave calling Americans classless to Don Cherry
What worries more than a goal celebration is the bonehead penalties/plays by Konecny. I see the skill but he just does so many dumb things. He tried to body check a player by throwing his head at the guys upper body in the first period, then he looked at the ref and complained. Then he had a penalty drawn against Hanifin but then decided to grab his stick & continue to tussle after the whistle. He had another bonehead penalty later in the game, Sutter would have benched him by now
I'm not that worried about what Kirwan did, just don't like that stuff. I tell my own kid to act like they've scored before.
Seems you have a hate on for Konecny.
I thought Konecny had another good game, you may have been in the rink, but on screen he looked good, created lots. The fact he was able to force Hanifin to pull him down says enough about his ability to create as well as his cross bar on a quick backhand deke.
Still don't know why he got called for hitting a guy hard, was it charging or boarding (the commentator was right, the trip just prior had to be called, no excuse for I guess boarding (international hockey speak for hit hard).
