Jake Walman Hits em w/ de Griddy

[saska sault]

Listen us and our players are not used with this amount of goals the last few seasons.

Just wait until Kane and his celebrations arrive. Going to be a salty forum.

Remember, Fans want players with personality

*looks at some of the posts in the thread*

Oh I guess they don't want players with personality.

After going down 11 posts to see what this was about, I can now safely say that playing Fortnite doesn't constitute a personality.

Dear lord this is at least 100 classless Subbans this is unacceptable to the gentleman’s game of ice hockey which is so pure we do not need this debauchery!

Nothing makes me feel older than stuff like this.

I'm 43 and I think it's fun to see guys do stuff like this. It shows personality. Hell, I remember when Ovechkin did the "stick on fire" celebration, and how many people complained about that too. But it's just a player having fun and expressing themselves, and I'm here for it.

I thought it was great last year too, completing the comeback against the Pens in OT. It's still great now.

This oddly reminded me of the Yak slide for some reason…good times

I have no idea what this is but I’m here for it. The fact that it makes some people mad is just icing on the cake.

Personality refers to the enduring characteristics and behavior that comprise a person's unique adjustment to life, including major traits, interests, drives, values, self-concept, abilities, and emotional patterns.

So it definitely is, its just someones personality that you don't like and instead of ignoring it and moving on people like you and the others in this thread need to come in here to whine about it.

 

[Canadienna]

Lol I thought it was funny. I'll admit i did have the instinctual "kids these days" reaction, but I know I'm a curmudgeon.

I always loved the ice cold no celebration celebration.

I don't think I'm the one whining.

As someone who liked the Pezzetta celly vs Buffalo, good on him. Who gives a shit? if people are sore, then don't let him score

 

[Ezekial]

The shot was better than the celly.

Nothing as cringe as calling something cringe and then continually posting in a thread more than anyone else attempting to justify your cringe behavior

 

[Dotter]

I would like to also post in this thread and add my unsolicited opinion and say it's a cool goal celebration.

It's weird people care enough to post their disgust over such a trivial thing. BE HAPPY people!!!

Honestly the first time he did it I had no idea what the griddy was (I still kinda don't). But I liked that he's having fun.

 

[WatchfulElm]

In his post game interview, David Perron said the Wings room was divided about that celly. The young guys loved it, the older ones did not, and he considered himself part of the older group. But he also said his son would absolutely love it.

Hockey has a very conservative culture, but it's slowly changing...

 

[The Red Line]

Nope, not a single person got worked up aside from your post. Try harder.

Being old and bitter is a pretty pathetic look.

 

[LarKing]

Is Walman’s celly generational? I’m so tempted to start a poll

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Definitely a hint of cringe, but the cringest celebration was easily Ovechkin's hot stick, or whatever the heck it was.

The problem for me is that I have no idea what the griddy is, where it came from and what it is meant to communicate. Like, everyone says "hit them with the griddy" which implies sending a message involving some form of disrespect, but it doesn't translate for me.

None of this was true of the hot stick or other celebrations that come to mind. It's similar to the dab.

that was cringe but at least it was after scoring his 50th and somewhat original

this is a scrub doing some played out celly that's like 5 years old

cant wait for the next time he scores and he does a dab or something

Jake Walman is far from a scrub. His celly game is elite buddy.

 

[Andrei79]

I have no idea what this dance is supposed to be.

It was pretty funny though. But also, people would have blasted Subban if he did it back then.

And for reasons unknown, I'll probably celebrate with a celly like that if Walman ever gets clocked with an open ice hit.

I understood the Kuznetsov bird more than I understand this

It was started by a high school football player who, according to Wiki, was inspired by another dance (the Nae Nae) to create it. I first saw it used as a touchdown celebration in the NFL, so it kinda tracks that a high school player would've come up with it.

At its most base level, one could say any form of celebration could convey disrespect towards an opponent -- including the hot stick. From where I'm sitting though, it's just a silly dance.

I mean, this topic comes up regularly in baseball these days given the era of celebration has only just begun. Ultimately there is a difference between celebration which is positive and celebration that is negative, celebrating your own success (fistpumps, etc.) vs. celebrating the downfall of your opponent (tossing your bat while staring down the pitcher). The disrespect shown in football is honestly part of the reason I have never connected with the sport.

I mean, in hockey the league literally asked players to raise their sticks when they scored to give a visual cue to those watching, and most celebrations are instinctive results of emotion and not premeditated in any way. I would say that you could easily argue that any premeditated celebration communicates disrespect, but all celebrations would be a tough claim to support.
