EdmontonOilers So I wonder if when McDavid did the no-no finger wave in TO after burning Reilly was disrespectful in their eyes.

EdmontonOilers Call the wambulance.

EdmontonOilers Oilers post a Snowman and win all the fights... all of them! Lol, it was a good night Scooter!

EdmontonOilers Get over it man, It's not that big of a deal. Celebrations are part of the game and this was not that bad.

EdmontonOilers You don't throw your stick after a regular season shootout. Especially when 2 posts got by you. Rittick made a fool of himself and cost his team an embarrassing loss last night. He can keep it up though if he wants. Keep motivating your opponent and they'll keep thumping you.

EdmontonOilers I'm Saying...

EdmontonOilers I was thinking....will Haas do this after scoring on a PS?...class act

EdmontonOilers Get over it....

EdmontonOilers Po baby wanna cry ? Lmao. Get bent

EdmontonOilers Crysaitl at it again. 😭😭😭

EdmontonOilers What’s disrespectful is a player’s off ice conduct, Leon!

EdmontonOilers Get over it Cry-saitl.

EdmontonOilers Oh and f you flamer fans, the ignorant never deserves respect but you can try, so chalky showboating and being excited but you just lost this game 8-3...suck on that. “ bat flip””!!”

EdmontonOilers Ha what a softy.

EdmontonOilers Uhhhhh? What an embarrassing quote? Does nobody remember the time Yakupov slid down the ice on his knees celebrating a goal in a regular season game? Oh wait, that doesn’t suit the narrative. Fk this pathetic franchise and their blow hard media, what an embarrassment.

EdmontonOilers so, no player should EVER celebrate after a goal again, right Leon snowflake growup!!

EdmontonOilers

EdmontonOilers Sour Puss!!

EdmontonOilers But I loved that the Oilers drove him out of the his own building. It was a lesson on humility. I don’t think he liked it much. It’s not something he’ll forget either. I was looking for a stick flip out of either hopelessness, anger or plain annoyance. Rittich

EdmontonOilers Sorry Leon but if you hit the post that means you never scored , maybe he had the rest of the net covered ,

EdmontonOilers Leon living rent free in Flames fans heads.

EdmontonOilers He wouldn't be saying the same thing if Mike Smith did that. Hypocrite.

EdmontonOilers Maybe...now hear me out....the NHL could have more fun and encourage players to do so? And then market that? Rather than the 'don't step on the logo' kind of mentality that has been beaten to death for many years

EdmontonOilers Disrespectful to some, charismatic to others. Not saying I agree, but his personality is one of the best in the league

EdmontonOilers It wasn’t that big of a deal

EdmontonOilers So we can expect no goal celebrations from this guy for the rest of his career. Goalies can’t be pumped making a save but everyone else can when they score.

EdmontonOilers Imagine if sports were fun If players had personalities If fans could laugh and cheer and jeer and boo but realize IT’S ONLY Hockey. Or we could try to tamp down fun. Leon’s team won a big game. Outplayed the Flames badly. Relax. Have fun.

EdmontonOilers What has happened to the people in Edmonton? Is there something wrong with the water? Kassian can’t take a hit, Draisaitl gets the sads when a goalie celebrates a win (20th of season), McDavid throwing fits on bench breaking sticks like an spoiled teen. Shameful

EdmontonOilers Watching Rittick have to come back in after getting chased was simply joyous. Pretty much hung his head for the entire third period. As he should.

EdmontonOilers Wah

EdmontonOilers Omg enough. People are so wound up over this. Ever seen some of those NFL celebrations? Now those are the worst. Not this. Get over it.

EdmontonOilers Coming from the guy who celebrated scoring 50 but his team missed the playoffs. Really?

EdmontonOilers Nah he’s celebrating like he won a shoot out. Has Draisaitl ever seen a Stanley cup celebration?

EdmontonOilers But yet it's ok for a player to celebrate a goal. Goalies have every right to celebrate when they are pumped. Go back to timbits hockey snowflake

EdmontonOilers what a 👶

EdmontonOilers 💯💯💯

EdmontonOilers Boo hoo, your team game me one game...FINALLY. The season series has already been won buy the Flames by the way. So he won the season series against his provincial rivals. Good for him. Go cry about it.

EdmontonOilers And this is the same guy that said he would get off the ice at ASG if Tkachuk was on. Oh you got a goal assisted by him? Cool story bro.

EdmontonOilers He’s so sensitive lol

EdmontonOilers But it’s alright for players to celebrate goals Leon needs a tissue

EdmontonOilers This guy literally cries about everything and everyone. For such a good player, he is not endearing at all.

EdmontonOilers What a baby, the game is for the fans and the fans love it, take ur millions n go play else we’re if ya don’t like it

EdmontonOilers Cry baby

EdmontonOilers Hate this guy we’re gonna pull the disrespectful card as always.

EdmontonOilers I don’t have a horse in this race, but everyone is right, and everyone is wrong......it was bush league by Rittich, and Draisaitl is being a bit of a whiny bitch about it.

EdmontonOilers

EdmontonOilers dont worry Smith took care of him

EdmontonOilers He is becoming a real whiner

EdmontonOilers How would Leon know how to celebrate a Stanley Cup win?!?

EdmontonOilers As an impartial fan, I'd much rather see rittich's stick toss celebration than draisaitl whining to the media after a win

EdmontonOilers 👶🏻👶🏻👶🏻 do you need a bottle and a lullaby before bed too?

EdmontonOilers Draisaitl, 🏒 CRY BABY

EdmontonOilers Ah, poor Leon didn’t like his celly!! Pathetic to bring this up in the media

EdmontonOilers The intensity of hockey is a bit much

EdmontonOilers Get over it

EdmontonOilers I’m a diehard flames fan and he’s absolutely right. And I thought that would bite the flames tonight in some sort of way

EdmontonOilers Wait until the playoffs , the fun begins then . Oh wait 🤔

EdmontonOilers I didn’t think the stick flip was that outrageous.

EdmontonOilers

EdmontonOilers Oh god, there's 'bat flip' moaning in hockey!

EdmontonOilers Haha

EdmontonOilers Just here for the comments

EdmontonOilers Personally, I don't think this or bat flipping in MLB should be hated on so much. Emotion is very powerful and people shouldn't need to hold it back when they get excited. It should motivate you to clap cheeks next time and that's exactly what EDM did today so kudos to them.

EdmontonOilers The lesson here is unless it’s your 1st career win, act like you’ve been there before.

EdmontonOilers didn't you flip a stick yourself?🤡🤡🤡

EdmontonOilers People need to stop shitting on Leon he was asked a question and he answered it.

EdmontonOilers Hes 100% right you want throw ur stick cuz the post saved you.... gimme a break leon leads the league in points and was second goal scorer last year is 6th this year I don't see him throwing his stick

EdmontonOilers I do appreciate that hockey players are more humble than most athletes in other pro sports but why do you take this personally? You’re a professional athlete. That’s just soft.

EdmontonOilers Fun how deep guys like Tkachuk or Rittich are in their heads.

EdmontonOilers Oh princess its sport get over it. Its entertainment. Flames Oilers BattleOfAlberta

EdmontonOilers Maybe you guys should learn to hit the net

EdmontonOilers OK Boomer

EdmontonOilers No offence but why is he always whining?

EdmontonOilers Holy shit Drai - can you shut that yap? Let your sticks do the talking like it did Saturday night. Dramatic bullshit and whining is really tarnishing a talented and fun Oilers team 🤷‍♂️

EdmontonOilers He’s not whining, he stating facts, anybody that has actually played the game, agrees with him. He let his play on the ice speak for what he thought of the “stick toss”, which just served to motivate the Oilers, bush league move

EdmontonOilers Kinda like the Oilers celebrating the 7th goal.

EdmontonOilers Got a point .

EdmontonOilers ok boomer

EdmontonOilers Awww baby

EdmontonOilers Wow Really! Can you be a bigger baby? Get over yourself. This is what this sport needs. Some actual emotion, instead of a bunch of spoiled rich kids skating around. Don’t get me wrong, Leon you are a very skilled player. But you are sounding ridiculous. You got revenge tonight

EdmontonOilers I'm not an Edmonton or Calgary fan and what rittich did is fine, they won they game, he flip his stick and got shit on the next game. Alittle fire in the belly brings a team together. It's good to see

EdmontonOilers Live look at Draisatl:

EdmontonOilers I never knew Drai was such a whiner. Lol damn

EdmontonOilers how dare a player show some excitement and personality

EdmontonOilers Still wont make the playoffs

EdmontonOilers Oh come on, you play a fucking sport for a living. Pro athletes are the worst. Smile it’s fun

EdmontonOilers This dudes mad soft

David Rittich's stick flip adds new layer to Oilers vs. Flames rivalry - Sportsnet.caDavid Rittich inadvertently did his best Jose Bautista impression in the last Battle of Alberta.
