Jaromir Jagr, shaggy mullet and all, was never one to blend in with a crowd. His expressive personality came through in his signature salute celebration, which according this May 2012 piece from the Ottawa Citizen, was inspired by former Denver Broncos running back Terrell Davis. Arguably even better than the Jagr Salute itself has been the many im...
Mike Foligno was a 15-season NHL veteran who crossed the 20-goal mark 10 times, even scoring 41 with Buffalo in 1985-86. His claim to fame was the Foligno Leap, in which the winger would, as the name suggests, jump into the airto celebrate a score. Foligno’s two sons have since entered the league and have both replicated their father’s traditional ...
Montreal Canadiens forward Alexander Radulov is a big-time player with a celebration to match. Using the stick as a mock weapon has been done by others (more on that below), but Radulov’s sheathing celebration earns extra points for the flashy twirl he tends to perform right before he slides his stick downward. It’s something he’s done in major jun...
Auston Matthewsfound the back of the net 40 times this past season, often following the act with… whatever this is: At the 18-second mark of the video above, Matthews flicks his wrist downward as if presenting his hand to a prince. Matthews explained the origin of his quirky little hand thing earlier this month, saying he stole it from teammates Ja...
This one never got a ton of attention, and Danny Briere was hardly the first or last player to drop to one knee and pump his fist, but he’s done it with enough consistency that it warrants a mention here. The now-retired forward scored 53 goals in 124 career playoff games, many of them followed by his emphatic swooping celebration. It stayed with h...
Luc Bourdon was a 10th overall pick of the Vancouver Canucks in 2005, and was considered a rising star in the Canucks organization when he was killed in a motorcycle accident on May 29, 2008. He had a signature celebration of his own, shooting an imaginary bow and arrow into the sky. Canucks teammate Alex Burrows co-opted the move, using it as a tr...
The Finnish Flash set the rookie goal-scoring record in 1992-93 with 76, a mark that still stands today. When he scored his 54th goal that season, which broke Mike Bossy’s record at the time, Selanne celebrated with this famous gun-happy celebration.
Patrick Kane’s heartbreaker: Best seen when sending his teamto the Stanley Cup Final. Artem Anisimov’s rifle: This one went unappreciatedby the Tampa Bay Lightning. Alex Ovechkin’s burning stick: The execution was silly, and apparently this wasn’t even Ovechkin’s idea. Goaltender Jose Theodore suggested it to the sniper, as revealed years later. Th...
Jul 12, 2009 · Any Leaf fan over the age of 25 should remember Mike Foligno's overtime goal against the Red Wings. Probably the most famous goal of Foligno's long career, it served as turning point in the Leafs' eventual series win that launched the rebirth of the Leafs as quasi-contenders.
His best offensive season was the 1985–86 season with the Buffalo Sabres, when he scored 41 goals and 80 points, both career highs. On December 23, 1991, while with the Maple Leafs, he broke his foot while playing against Winnipeg, causing him to miss a majority of the season.
