Like the fighting prompt from last week, I do think celebrations have a place in the game overall. One of the things that I like most about hockey is that the celebrations that we DO have are pretty tame. For example, the NFL has completely ridiculous celebration protocol.. they have one after almost every single play on the field. Can you imagine that after every save or general stoppage during the game? It would look insane. Anyway, as long as the celebrations are relatively short and limited to just goal scoring, then it's a great thing in the game and really keeps the fans involved too. I've also seen it happen after a big fight, which could probably go either way. I also think it's important to note that there aren't any "mass celebrations" outside of winning the game or, of course, the cup. Occasionally you'll see one for a major milestone or record being broken, but it's so rare that it remains acceptable.
