The beautiful game of hockey has everything we all know and love, fast paced, action packed game play. Hard hits, and far and away my favourite, taunts, most of which are well timed. Not only are they funny, they're more than likely going to piss off the other team and the opposing fan base as well.

It's even better when an opposing goaltender does it to home fans, the hostile crowd, the wry smiles, everything about a good taunt is perfect. When Carolina Hurricanes goaltender Pyotr Kochetkov taunted the Los Angeles Kings fans as he was making his way off the ice after a 4-2 win, it was priceless, take a look.

Some won't agree with this and that's fine, but the personality is the thing I look for here. The taunt wasn't delivered with malicious intent, in fact, I'm sure some fans found it amusing.

Either way, it's entertaining and really, that's what you want out of a game of hockey. I'm glad the NHL is starting to allow players to express their personalities and do little things like this as long as it doesn't cross a line.
