Some people are celebrating Marc-Andre Fleury for sticking up for his teammate, but others are calling this a childish display.

On Wednesday night we were treated to Game 4 of what has been a very dramatic series between the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins thus far, but the cameras caught something very early on in the game.
