According to Elliotte Friedman, the NHL has issued warnings to the Detroit Red Wings and Vancouver Canucks due to concerns over potential retaliation against Jake Walman.
Walman's celebration, known as the 'griddy', following his overtime-winning goal sparked mixed reactions. While some admired it, others viewed it as a sign of disrespect. With the two teams set to face off again, talks of retaliation have grown louder.
While celebrations like Walman's may be seen as disrespectful by some, others argue that scoring an overtime winner is a moment worth celebrating, especially for a young player.
With physical players like Tyler Myers and Nikita Zadorov on the Canucks' roster, how the game will unfold, especially with NHL warnings in place, remains to be seen.
