It was simply funny, and a beautiful moment of celebration.
However, recent reports indicate that Matthew Tkachuk might be in a bit of hot water because of this gesture.
Tkachuk also mentioned this in an interview:
It was the day after the victory, I still hadn't slept at that point, and it was just me and a few of my teammates. We had no one with us to say, 'Matthew, don't be an idiot, don't do that.' So I thought it was appropriate, but if I had known I wasn't supposed to do it, I wouldn't have done it, but also, I think it's pretty funny."

He then added that it was his brother, Brady, who had the idea:

Personally, I also think it was pretty funny, and if Matthew Tkachuk ever gets fined for it, I'm convinced he will pay the penalty with great pleasure (even though I really don't think it deserves a sanction).
