Seeking payback, Canucks defenseman Nikita Zadorov took matters into his own hands during their recent clash. With Vancouver in command with a 4-1 lead, Zadorov and Walman engaged in a heated exchange, culminating in Zadorov mocking Walman with his own version of the celebratory "griddy" dance.
Such moments not only add fuel to the rivalry but also stir conversation, injecting an extra layer of excitement into the game. Goal celebrations have been under scrutiny in the NHL lately, particularly following incidents like this one and Ottawa Senators Ridly Greig's controversial puck slap into an empty net against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
The aftermath of these events, such as Morgan Rielly's subsequent suspension for his reaction, underscores the ongoing debate surrounding on-ice conduct and its repercussions.
