Devante Smith-Pelly just went Pete Townshend on the celly
By C.L. Kohuss
The Washington Capitals currently lead the Vegas Golden Knights 3-0 in Game 4, but it’s Devante Smith-Pelly who’s truly winning with the hockey celebration.
Reason No. 8,000 why we love this game? That darn celebration after a big goal. You love it, we love it, and right now Washington Capitals fans are loving it as they have taken a 3-0 lead over the Vegas Golden Knights through the first period.
That third tally came courtesy of Devante Smith-Celly, I mean Pelly, who went ahead and serenaded us with a classic afterwards.
We would never guess he was such a big Who fan:
If you’re unfamiliar in the ways of rock n’ roll, that celly is the patented Pete Townshend windmill.
It makes sense that Smith-Celly would go with a Who reference. The Capitals have to be singing “Won’t Get Fooled Again” in their locker right now, thinking this is finally the year they go ahead and win a Stanley Cup. And being up 3-0 in the second period and looking to go ahead 3-1 overall in the series? Well, windmill on, Devante.
As for the Golden Knights, they can’t seem to buy a goal. Pucks are bouncing off posts, Braden Holtby is squashing everything in sight, and guys are just plain missing the net.
It could certainly be considered ironic, since Pat Sajak was in the building a few nights ago, and we’re sure Vegas would love another crack at the Wheel right about now. Yet at this point, it feels as though we could ask them to spell ‘cat’, spot them the ‘c’ and the ‘t’, and they’d still flub it.
