Fans react as Jakub Dobes' surprising post-game gesture goes viral after the Habs' win in Utah

He is still relatively new to the NHL and to the team, but already, you can see that he stands out from the rest. It's not the first time Jakub Dobes has made headlines for a reaction he's had after a game, whether after a win or a loss, but this one was quite unexpected.

As the Montreal Canadiens picked up a big win against the Utah Mammoth last night, by a score of 4-3, Jakub Dobes immediately rushed off to the locker room (even before receiving congratulations from his teammates).

It really made me laugh! I think it was the first time I've ever seen that after a Canadiens game.

See the footage here:

It's a video that's circulating widely on the web today and generating many reactions across the NHL. I unfortunately have to clarify this, to avoid any misunderstanding, but it's not going viral because it's a major controversy or a deplorable act by Dobes. Far from it!

It's mainly generating reactions because fans find it funny, and it's one of the first times we've seen a goaltender act this way after a win.

It must be said, there is probably a reason that explains Dobes's quick exit to the locker room, because something happened on the ice right before that, and immediately at the end of the game. There was a scrum on the ice, and Dobes probably simply decided he didn't want to get involved in it, so he left immediately.

In any case, it gave us a good laugh!

Speaking of Jakub Dobes, he made a nice gesture in the locker room after his team's win!

Yes, it's a win that will do the team a world of good!
