lol at the Isles currently leading 2-1 in Boston.

Would be something if Keith Aucoin suddenly became a strong top 6 forward at his age after dominating the AHL for years.

2 goals for Crosby in his first game in WPG.

Capitals down 2-0, LMAO.

Awesome celebration by Yakupov. Are people really offended by this? Geez...

Why is nobody calling Alex Galchenyuk a primadonna for his first goal celebration? Wasn't he running away from his teammates to hit the glass?

Because he's a white American boy.

Blacks and Russians are at the bottom of the totel pole.

Yakupov almost went the length of the ice.

Oh yes it is one big bunch of racists in the NHL. What a load of garbage.

It's a load of garbage to deny the racism.

Remember the tweets Joel Ward got when scoring a game 7 OT winner against Boston?

Let me help you:

Remember how Wayne Simmonds was taunted with bananas in a game against the red wings?

Remembe how Yakupov was criticized for celebrating after a goal?

That's fans though. You're bound to find idiots on twitter and in crowds of thousands see millions of people.

It was players that apparently didn't like the celebration. Mike Johnson on TSN earlier said some of the players didn't like it because they don't want to chase a guy half way down the ice to celebrate. It's kind of a weird respect thing where the guy should celebrate with his teammates because the goal is a collective effort or whatever. Has nothing to do with race.

Personally I loved the celebration. But I think it rubs certain players the wrong way for the reasons mentioned above.

And it's fans who made the video of Yakupov celebrating. It's fans on this site criticizing Yakupov.

Galchenyuk had to be chased following his celebration.

Galchenyuk went 20 feet and turned back towards his teammates right away though. Anyway, I'm just saying what Mike Johnson said. Personally I really don't think it's about race whatsoever. Could be wrong, obviously, but just my personal opinion.
