During the Boston Bruins’ 5-3 home win over the Toronto Maple Leafs, David Pastrnak scored his 400th career NHL goal just 49 seconds into the second period on a breakaway set up by a Charlie McAvoy stretch pass.

The entire Bruins bench emptied to mob and celebrate Pastrnak on the ice.

An X user named Kevin Maggiore criticized the celebration, calling it a “dumb move."

"I’ll be the dweeb….Entire team coming out for a 400th goal is kinda dumb," he wrote.

He added:

“They are legends, big names, great goal-scorers, great players, great human beings for the city, and it’s something that will sink in a little bit later, maybe when I retire. “Now, when you are in the game you focus and flip the page on to the next.
