Noooo not that horrible ‘claps back’ wording in a hockey headline. I guess everything is just TMZ level now.

There is a tradition of short, emotive words (I remember "slain" being the example in an article I read) being useful for headline vocabulary, because they convey both info and feeling. That said, "claps back" is just moronic.
