Comments on: Ovechkin needs a beatdown, Avery just stupid http://www.battleofny.com/2009/04/21/ovechkin-needs-a-beatdown-avery-just-stupid/ We're just some passionate bloggers who follow the Rangers, Devils, Islanders and now even the Sabres like no other!

To be honest, the Rangers and their fans have no room to complain about anyone else's postgame celebrations after what went on at the Rock last year with Lundqvist taking a victory lap and the Rangers doing the stick salute there. Besides from what I've heard the Ovechkin-Backstrom thing is a regular ritual and not something they cooked up just for Game 3. I haven't neccesarily approved of everything Ovechkin's done so far, but if he backs it up he's Muhammad Ali and if he doesn't he looks more the fool. Guess we'll see what happens.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('3403','Hasan'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('3403','Hasan','I thought Avery got rattled by the first penalty when Erskine baited him, since usually it\'s the other way around - and as a result he melted down the rest of the night.\r\n\r\nTo be honest, the Rangers and their fans have no room to complain about anyone else\'s postgame celebrations after what went on at the Rock last year with Lundqvist taking a victory lap and the Rangers doing the stick salute there. \r\n\r\nBesides from what I\'ve heard the Ovechkin-Backstrom thing is a regular ritual and not something they cooked up just for Game 3.
