Dimaline312000 51 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 My friend and I have different opnions about Rupp scoring the first NYR Goal than doing the Jagr Salute. He says it was disrespectful I say it wasn't. I don't want to get into reason's right now but I would like to know what you all think and what opnions you have about this. Let's not start a Holy War over this but open for mature discussion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 Disrespectful to who? Those who serve in the military? probably. As for Jagr, who cares. I've always thought it was a stupid post goal celebration. Good on Rupp for mocking him for it. 2 Namingway and Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DyingAlive 27 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 Disrespectful to Jagr? I think that is ridiculous, is your friend a Flyers fan? If anything shouldn't it be disrespectful to Terrell Davis? He was doing it long before Jagr was Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LeftWinger 4,962 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 (edited) IMO, any kind of "dance" or strange celebration outside of a fist pump or raising your arms up then hugging you teammates should be penalized in ALL sports. Score a goal, Homerun, Touchdown and dance around like a damn fool like you are bigger than the game then it's a penalty. I know they don't have penalties in baseball, but enough of the chest bumps and crazy handshakes. Enough of the endzone charades and dances and enough of the "salutes" and "discount double play's." Score, pump your fists, hug teammates, get congratulated and move on. Nothing ruins a great touchdown/goal/homerun more than the kind of stuff that goes on after. (not so much happens in hockey, but the other sports got to do something about it.) at the negs. Thanks! I think I may just do a dance!

puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 It wasn't disrespectful to Jagr... and Rupp didn't do it right, besides, if that's what he was trying to do. I don't think that was his intent, BTW. 1 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 I thought it was hilarious. It was probably directed more towards Philly. I'm sure it wasn't thought out but a spur of the moment thing haha. 1 Namingway reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xtrememachine1 795 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 When I saw it, I thought it was a dig at Jagr, who did his old salute celebration just a few days ago in Pittsburgh when he scored on Rupp's former teammates. 1 Namingway reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

swedishconnection 36 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 I was pissed he didnt do it on the second goal just to stick it to Hartnell. Whats the old addage? ...The greatest form of respect is mockery? Or something to that tune. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
puckloo39 5,686 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.... and, yeah! I thought it was funny, and not directed at Jagr as mean-spirited. I hope Jagr thought it was funny, too. 2 Hockeymom1960 and 55fan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sleepwalker 512 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 IMO, any kind of "dance" or strange celebration outside of a fist pump or raising your arms up then hugging you teammates should be penalized If thats your stance, then why should fist pumping not be penalized as well? It is the EXACT same thing as the salute, only difference being that the fist is closed instead of an open palm... 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haroldsnepsts 4,826 Report post Posted January 3, 2012 Agreed. Seems as though being modest with your accomplishments is a thing of the past. More than that, just be excited and celebrate the goal. The salutes and pointing your stick like a gun and the like are all premeditated moves the player does to call attention to himself. I'd take a Patrick Eaves spontaneous excitement kind of celebration any day over that. 1 F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
