First Lesson of Fist Pump 101: Don't Fist Pump

Last week in the comments section over at Fenway West I ripped Boston Red Sox miniature douchebag Dustin Pedroia for his extremely poor fist-pump etiquette. Well, it seems Toronto's own Jason Blake needs to touch up on his fist-pump manners, as well.

For the record, I'd like to say that I am not a big fan of the timeless art of the fist pump. I've never really enjoyed Tiger's, I hate Nadal's, Sean Avery looks like a complete douche when he does his thing, and Danielle Briere, who has employed the fist pumpage after every single goal he has ever scored in his life (even empty-net goals), has ruined the fist pump for me forever.

As for Blake, one of the few, if not only, fist pumpers on the Leafs, my man just needs a quick lesson. A fist-pump refresher, you know? We all forget sometimes. No big deal.
So, Jason, the next time the Maple Leafs are down by five and you score a power-play goal, which happens to be a tap-in into an empty net because the goaltender is out of position, please use your brain and refrain from the fist-pump celebration.
I know, you're excited, you're a cancer survivor, and you're probably just happy to be alive. I get that. I, too, am happy for you. In the negative hell hole which has become Leafs Nation, I'm one of your biggest supporters. I even picked you in my hockey pool, that's how much faith I've got in you.
But, please, the next time you want to use the fist pump, first think about the score. It matters. In fact, I would love it if you could do me a solid and save the fist pump for only game-tying or -winning goals, in the third period or later. Thanks man.
That's it. I told you, just a quick refresher. 
What about you, are you a fan of the fist pump? Do you use it when you score on the ice, or in the bedroom? Are you looking to spruce up your fist pump, or add it to your repertoire? This might help. Good luck, and Godspeed.

    "Do you use it when you score on the ice, or in the bedroom?" probably the best part of this article, however I had too wonder why there was an article with a picture of Tiger Woods on it in the Maple Leafs section. Lol, not a bad article good for a chuckle.
