Definitely concede that. I wish he'd put his tongue away after a goal, it just bad sportsmanship.
I don't really understand this. He's not pointing his tongue out at someone. How is the tongue drop any worse than Jordon sticking his tongue out on a dunk. Or a player doing an uppercut after a goal. Or a player jumping into the boards. Etc.
Jordan did it out of a lifelong habit of emulating his father while woodworking, or something to that effect, and it wasn't done out of celebration.
I'm not a fan of ridiculously effusive goal celebrations, and Domi, waggling his tongue around, just comes off, to me, as looking like an asshat, and its not what I associate with Canadian international hockey class. But everyone draws the line of what they can appreciate individually.
As an aside, I remember watching one of the other countries games, where one of the forwards made two or three beautiful moves, and finished it off with a pass to the side of the net for a tap-in. Instead of going over to the passer, the tap-in guy skates right by him and his teammates to do a full quarter rink jump into the glass. Ugh.
