Did Havlat ‘flip the bird' at L.A. crowd?

Share

Sharks forward Martin Havlat -- celebrating a goal in Tuesday night's game in L.A. -- either extended his middle finger to Kings fans or simply raised his glove while opening his hand. You be the judge.

Havlat was asked after the game and he said that no such gesture occurred. At this point, there's no reason that he shouldn't be taken at his word. Also, it should be noted that the NHL has not indicated that it's reviewing the play.

The incident in question occurred after Havlat scored a power-play goal that tied the game at 1 in the first period of San Jose's 5-2 loss.

Sharks fans, what's your take? Inadvertent hand position or obscene gesture?
