Embarrassing goal celebration leads to 10 minute penalty (Video)
Last season New Jersey Devil's forward Jack Hughes celebrated an overtime game winner by tossing his stick into the crowd. Fans absolutely loved the celebration, especially after the amazing effort on the game winning goal. But like everything there is a time and a place for every celebration.
Yesterday University of Minnesota forward Rhett Pitlick learned the importance of timing his celebration. After scoring a goal to make the score 2-0 in the second period, Pitlick imitated the celebration. Unfortunately this wasn't on the game winning goal, and honestly it wasn't even on a very nice goal. The puck clearly deflects off a defender before beating the goalie.
Even more embarrassing? After Pitlick tosses his stick into the crowd, it ends up landing in the lap of a fan from the other team. That fan then sends Pitlick's stick flying back onto the ice. For his trouble Pitlick was also awarded a 10-minute misconduct for his embarrassing celebration.
