Yesterday there were some funny reactions during the game. Following many blows and many reversals of situation, it is normal to see certain gestures out of the ordinary.
My favorite reaction? No doubt this one, starring Phillip Danault not respecting social distancing measures when the mess was taken. I found him really funny, actually.

Among those that also caught my attention, I also noted that of Nick Suzuki. Following a goal from Joel Armia, he went to his teammate with Team Canada Junior (Carter Hart) and patted him on the helmet.
At the time, I told myself that this was going to be talked about en masse. But ultimately, with the match being as busy as it was, the storyline wanted otherwise and his gesture went a bit in the butter. Its important goals and his winning attitude its rather stood out.
But among the Flyers, who are looking for the culprits for this loss, that’s not how they see it.
Alain Vigneault mentioned that he found it “very interesting”… and he is not the only one to have noted it. Kevin Hayes was among the players who stood up to mention that it wasn’t his best and that it was a junior move.

“It’s a sign of immaturity. I don’t know what he was thinking. But we don’t need more fire. They were teammates at the World Juniors. He can say whatever he wants. “

While he himself has been questioned on the subject, Suzuki confessed that it was not his best, but that he was not malicious. He wouldn’t do it again in hindsight.
I was just excited for the goal. It was just a reaction. When I saw the cover, I thought I shouldn’t have done this, but it happened. – Nick Suzuki
So he learned and that’s the main thing. The rest is no longer his.

I didn’t like seeing that since it can, in some way, motivate the Flyers. Having said that, do you know what I didn’t like seeing more? Matt Niskanen’s shot. The coup of Sean Couturier. All the blows of the Flyers who have gone unpunished.
Yes, Suzuki messed up. But it is not for him to receive the first stone. Next topic now.
