So prior to these little tykes taking the ice, members of the staff encouraged the kids to get creative with their goal celebrations.  One Caps’ representative suggested the possibility of performing a snow angel, telling the tots that if any of them did so following a goal, they would be rewarded with the game puck.

What the tykes did not realize was that the offer was intended solely for the goal-scorer, rather than the entire team.  As a result of the misunderstanding, the following ensued after each of the first two goals by young Gabe Dombrowski.

Sorry Ovi, but your “stick is on fire” celebration has nothing on “the snow angel.”

Hat Tip – [Puck Daddy]

Wes Welker was flagged on the play and will probably be getting fined by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.  This is not the first time a Patriots player was flagged and fined for extensive celebration in the end zone this season.  A couple of weeks ago it was Ben Watson showed his love for his pregnant wife after putting the football under his jersey in a baby-on-the-way celebration.  He was handed down with a $10,000 fine, We Welker could expect the same for his snow angel celebration. 

We don’t understand how such a rule could be ever implemented in the NFL and players fined $10,000 for just having some fun. In a way they are just making the game a little more exciting and marketable to the world.  Roger Goodell should loosen up a bit and allow celebrations after a touchdown.

Just look at the CFL and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, their celebrations are some of the best in the league.  Some days well just watch the Blue Bombers just for their end zone celebrations.  The NFL should follow suit and allow end zone celebrations only fining players who are offensive.
