"While the goal was nice, Hutson's celebration was what drew the biggest reaction on social media. After seeing the puck cross the goal line, Hutson made his way over to the boards at Agganis Arena and did what today's youth are calling the "6 7 celebration." The celebration, which simply involves someone moving their hands up and down with palms facing upward, originated as an Internet meme primarily popularized on TikTok."
"The "6 7" phrase stems from a drill rap song titled "Doot Doot (6 7)" by Philadelphia-based rapper Skrilla, which went viral after being featured in many basketball highlight video edits, especially those showcasing Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball, who is 6-foot-7-inches tall. The hand gesture portion of the meme came later, after a YouTuber posted a video of a boy, now nicknamed "6-7 Kid", going up to the camera and yelling "six seven" while performing the gesture."
"Hutson had referenced the meme before Friday's celebration, teasing in September that he would be changing his number this season to 67, adding his no. 44 at BU to the 23 he wears for Team USA. Chicago Blackhawks forward Frank Nazar, who commented "Generational aura" on Hutson's Instagram post, did the celebration during the NHL preseason after scoring against the Minnesota Wild."
