I was recently having a discussion (read: being bitched at for my opinion) and was wondering what you guys thought over here.
We've all seen Ovechkin's crazy antics during his Stanley Cup celebration, and I was wondering if a player like Crosby, Toews, McDavid, Stamkos, Thornton, or some other "good ol' canadian boy" celebrated this way would they receive backlash?
I can't help but think that if Crosby was behaving similarly to Ovechkin he would catch a lot of crap (particularly with ending his speech by slurring, stammering, and dropping an F-bomb). I can't imagine Don Cherry or some other media members not piping up if some other players were running around sloppy drunk.
For the record: I don't care that Ovi is acting this way. I wouldn't care if anyone acted this way. If you win the cup, you celebrate however you want in my opinion. Also, edit: I think McDavid would get a bit of a pass, due to being so young.
