Being a lifelong Washington Capitals fan, I was extremely disappointed with the actions of our star player Alex Ovechkin today. Alex scored his 50th goal today against the Tampa Bay Lightning. After the goal, he performed the “hot stick dance” acting as if he were a fifth grader.

I found his actions embarrassing and affronting. First, I thought he looked like an idiot doing it. My next thought was that, why are you celebrating? You are a forward and you are supposed to score goals!! That’s your job. We pay these guys a lot of money to play and I do not like to witness this sort of schoolboy antics!

I certainly hope this doesn’t catch on around the NHL. I ask all the players in the league to please Don’t Start That!!
