Mat Barzal fined for unsportsmanlike conduct against Mitch Marner
I guess they don’t have a category for just kind of weird.
This covers the incident really well.
"Hopefully he gets fined for that, that would be great."

I have no idea why anyone would think that was funny. It just looks odd. Why don’t his teammates stop him?
Anyhow, yes he got fined:
NY Islanders’ Mathew Barzal has been fined $2,500, for Unsportsmanlike Conduct during last night’s game against Toronto.

Which is nothing money to an NHL player (don’t tell Chris Pronger I said that). The internet is forever though.
