donfishmaster 62 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Wow...I laughed so hard I hurt myself! Over on the Pens site a under some trash heading about "its just a matter of time before Detroit starts bitching about the officiating," some incredibly hockey-knowledgeable fan says he/she is sick of the Pens players being accused of leaping. Fortunately, one fo the other Pens fans (the one who has actually attended a single game prior to this year) corrected them that the term is "DIVING" Leaping/diving...quarters/periods...baskets/goals...safety/goalie...it's all the same!!!!!!

Well, Marc-Andre Fluery did take a leap per se off the bench. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 My guess is English isn't the guy's 1st language. Maybe "leap" translates from whatever foreign word for dive he uses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Datsyerberger 279 Report post Posted May 26, 2008 Yea, I saw that a coupla days ago. Don't think it was a language problem.. the guy admitted that it was more or less a novice fan mistake. Didn't make it any less funny, mind you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
