Top 5 goal celebrations of the 2017 playoffs

Dangle, snipe, celly. Well, not all of these celebrations were necessarily preceded by a dangle and a snipe, but all of these goals were meaningful enough to warrant an exuberant reaction. The following celebrations are listed in no particular order.

Zack Kassian, Oilers

Kassian only scored seven goals during the regular season, so he might have had this celebration saved in his back pocket for a while. Despite how electric Rogers Place was after this goal, Kassian was able to maintain his composure with a well-executed kneeling fist pump.

Connor McDavid, Oilers

"I see your kneeling fist pump, so I'll raise you one kneeling fist pump and a one-legged invisible high-five," said McDavid to Kassian, probably.

McDavid's first career postseason tally gave the Oilers a 2-0 lead in Game 2, which explains why the emotion was on full display.

Zach Parise, Wild

Parise displayed great improvisation by following up his one-legged invisible high-five with the always fantastic jump-into-the-glass. Unfortunately for hockey fans, this is the closest it gets to the NFL's "Lambeau Leap."

Jaden Schwartz, Blues

Schwartz's celebration was calm, cool, and collected. The crouching jab followed by the casual twirl to share the moment with teammates is always a fan favorite.

Alexander Radulov, Canadiens

Radulov's celebration was completely unplanned and had zero coordination, yet it was still fantastic. The whole feeling of "I just scored the biggest goal of my life and have no idea what to do with myself so I'm just going to crazily skate around until I get mobbed by my teammates" is an instant classic.
