A beautiful shot. A gorgeous goal; bringing your team back into the series. And then this:

In case anyone missed it, this was Bruin's Andrew Ference's reaction after scoring a big goal for the Boston Bruins in Montreal. This is another example of emotions running high in the playoffs and this was in no doubt brought on by the die-hard Montreal fans in the Bell Centre. What will be expected from this? I think a fine will be given out by the league. I wouldn't be surprised, however, if he were suspended for also for the obscene gesture. As a matter of fact, I would be surprised if he weren't suspended. Hockey players and athletes everywhere are supposed to be role models to everyone including children. The league should do the right thing and slap a 1 game (I think 2 is a bit too much especially during the playoffs) suspension on him for this.
Another player in this game, James Wisniewski (Canadiens) had an incident somewhat similar to this earlier in the year. When James was on the Islanders, he couldn't resist but to taunt Sean Avery. Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JYeKEA5AoY . Result of this gesture? A 2 GAME SUSPENSION! So don't be surprised if in the next day or two, if you see Ference being suspended. I'll keep you updated.
EDIT: No suspension for Ference. NHL did slap a $2500 fine on him and that was all. It might be because playoffs are more important.
