Yes, spontaneous celebration is, and should be, part of the game. Over the top and scripted celebrations that become a shtick shouldn't be, IMO.
I watched the video you linked and only 4 or 5 seemed scripted or over the top. If, for example, Uwe Krupp did a backflip after scoring the Stanley Cup winning goal in 3OT, I'd have no problem with it. If he did it several times, or when it wasn't nearly as big, I would. Same reasons Chad "Ochocinco's" antics bother people.
But don't listen to me, all sorts of stupid stuff bugs me
...I used to not like it when players wore non traditional numbers (99, 88, 87, 77, 68, 66, etc.). It has become so common place now it doesn't matter anymore, but when the trend first started I thought it was selfish in some weird way (probably just to me!
)
