Notorious agitator Steve Ott engages in some hilarious psychological warfare against the Rangers!

The New York Rangers probably did find this hilarious, but for many of us the sheer absurdity of this moment made it incredibly funny.

Montreal Canadiens forward Steve Ott has a reputation for getting under the skin of opposing teams, likely a large part of the reason Montreal acquired him in fact, but the way he chose to do so on Sunday night wasn't threw physicality or cheap shots, but rather through humor.

With Ott battling in front of the net with New York Ranger Mats Zuccarello, and the play blown dead, Ott used the opportunity to both touch and presumably compliment Zucccarello's hair. 

Whatever it was he said, Zuccarello clearly wasn't loving it as he delivered a stiff crosscheck to Ott in response.

Here's the video:
