Jamie Benn's stick-snap celebration ranks among the all-time greats
What’s the most suitable way to celebrate a big overtime winner, you ask? By snapping the stick used to score said goal over your femur, obviously.

After putting home the OT winner against the Blues on Saturday, Jamie Benn let his (happy) rage take hold as he obliterated his stick over his leg in a strange yet beautiful celebration. It was the 28-year-old’s 22nd tally and 58th point of the campaign, and Benn’s effort put Dallas back into a tie with Minnesota for third spot in the deadly Central Division.
A reason to celebrate, for sure, but where does this gem stack up against some of the all-time great cellies? You decide.
