The NHL reckons it’s OK for players to drop their sticks and punch each other in the face for a few minutes. But play-acting a pump shotgun after a goal? Not so much. Then again, unlike the NFL, the hockey jefes are willing to have a quiet word with New York Rangers’ forward Artem Anisimov and let this one slide. So to speak. Coach John Tortorella: “You guys all know him, he’s a great kid. I don’t think he realized what would happen in that type of situation and I don’t think that’s planned by him to go that far.” Rangers center Brad Richards: “Artie won’t do that again. He wasn’t trying to embarrass anybody. He was celebrating a nice goal but that’s what happens in hockey. We’ll all move on from that.” To what, mock grenade throwing celebrations? Meanwhile, I’m waiting for Stalingrad on Ice.
Bodyguard not armed my arse. Even though this is a new trend, the calling cops on people for fun thing, of course the bodyguard had a gun.

Not getting the full story here, another trend although not a new one.
