Would other players get backlash for celebrating like Ovi?

People giving him backlash for celebrating are miserable idiots. As if the league needs more robots with zero personality. Nofun Hockey League

It's not like there's a lot of players who had an NHL ad about them saying "If you think this is a celebration... wait until he wins it all".

OV's partying doesn't even seem that bad, even with all the attention on him and the Caps. Sure they're doing some some wild things. But it isn't even that bad IMO. OV is just a big kid having the time of his life after accomplishing his life goal. Let the man be drunk 24/7 and roll in fountains. No one is getting hurt and it's literally 40+ years of pent-up frustration being let loose.
As well his wife seems to be a great woman with her head on her shoulders properly and is doing what she can to make sure nothing vile gets put out on their social media accounts. I'm sure she's in his ear when she needs to be to remind him how the cameras are rolling and the hockey world is watching him. She is the perfect ''babysitter'' for him.
She's a great woman to have beside him during this time and literally the perfect person to make sure he doesn't do anything too foolish since she is sober due to her pregnancy, so she can reel him in if need be.

The answer is: No.
I don't know what it is, but people have really been attacking Ovechkin more than the average guy. One of my friends on FB that is a NYR fan was saying "What a great leader - I want to punch him in the face right now) and I couldn't understand why his celebration has brought out that kind of rage.

Why does everything in the NHL need to be interpreted in context of nationality? You just don't see this in the NBA, NFL or MLB.
Unless 'good old Canadian' is a euphemism for how friggin' conservative the league is, I don't understand this at all.
Party on Ovechkin.

I’m sure there’s more, but that’s just from what I’ve seen on Twitter. Cox compared how Nadal acted to “how real champions act”, promptly got blasted for it.
I think the crowd here should have been a litte madder/more crazy like ovi..... they were way too subdued... was it the heat?
Much of the crowd had been there since 7am, the players didn't arrive until 12:30. The bus with the cup was nearly an hour behind the bus in front of it. I think they were played out.
i thought so ...... free soda and beer should have been passed out to the crowd...
What a great response considering the thread is basically about Ovechkin not getting backlash. Fight your own battles I guess.

That is exactly my point though. I think for OV because of his personality he's "allowed" to act this way, whereas I think if Crosby/McDavid/Toews/etc. acted this way there would be a little bit of outrage.
For like the millionth time, I'm not upset about it, and I'm not asking if people care about what naysayers have to say about it. lol. I'm just asking if people think there would be some backlash if it were someone else.

Toews has won plenty of cups before so it would just be another day for him, meaning he wouldn't have to act like an assclown, that that he ever does anyways.

Right. The exact purpose of my thread is that he's getting nearly zero backlash at all. I even made a specific not at the end that I am in no way upset by his celebration and that I'm happy that he won and people still say it's an anti-Ovi thread I'm asking strictly if people think the reaction would be different if it were someone else. Reading comprehension is so lacking in this thread. lol

That thought will keep you warm when Chicago is paying him 10.5M to score 40 points in 2022.

Eh, I'm an NYR fan and I'm happy for him and think his extended celebration is hilarious in a good way. Always wanted him to win when it didn't cost NYR. Glad it worked out well.
agree... toews need to start drinking or doing some drugs to wake up...... earn your pay boy!

Eh I don't blame him for taking a ton of money, but someone might have been drinking when they offered that deal
And no amount of anything would make him the player OV is
