b.shanafan14 733 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 Hahaha... classic. I know the Sharks are bad. Always have been. Quick loves to flop too. Tell you what, Chicago hasn't looked much better in the dive department this series, Hossa especially. 1 datterberg1340 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dirtydangles 1,328 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 (edited) In that video you see mclellan asking the official not to make diving signals to embarrass his player - i say let EVERYONE see the shame. Maybe instead of a minor for diving we should see the next minor penalty negated instead so we dont see 40min of pp every night.

toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 Pretty bad. I think there were a coulple (no more than 2) in there that were legitimate non-dives and the ones with the goalies I guess you have to let go a bit because all goalies do it....some much worse than others though.

fixxxer 11 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 I wouldn't expect anything less out of the Sharks you'd think after so many years of getting beat in the playoffs they would just learn to work hard and win on that but I guess they will never learn they continue to think they can win on flopping around. Bunch of pantyhose wearing sissies. LA on the other hand should know better but they prolly got sick of Sharks acting a fool and returned the favor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ally 448 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 Terrible. This made me so mad. Diving is one of my biggest pet peeves so this was especially hard to watch. That said, this vid was really well made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Datsyukian-Deke 722 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 This is what's wrong with the game. Until they only call a penalty on the dive this will continue. A player knows that if he dives, the worst thing that will happen is 4 on 4 hockey. It's ridiculous and has to change. 2 Rhah and datterberg1340 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tda513 8 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 Around the 2:00 mark, Brown snaps his head back and starts to go down before he is touched!! Couture is really bad too. This is what's wrong with the game. Until they only call a penalty on the dive this will continue. A player knows that if he dives, the worst thing that will happen is 4 on 4 hockey. It's ridiculous and has to change. 100% agree with this. Instead of trying to skate hard through a check or a hook, guys just fall down. It's really pathetic sometimes.

Hockeymom1960 5,107 Report post Posted May 29, 2013 You'd think that after so much diving the refs just ignore it. These divers are only putting their team at a disadvantage as play goes on while there laying on the ice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nev 1,085 Report post Posted May 30, 2013 Wow. Just wow. And that clip of McLellan complaining to the refs that the diving motion is making his players look bad???? That's just shameful. Honestly, how the head coach of a top NHL team could have the lack of shame to do that? I do feel sorry for the refs when they have to try and sift the dives from the penalties, but until they start calling Couture et al for diving, the players are going to keep on doing it. 1 datterberg1340 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 324 Report post Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Just start calling every over dramatic reaction a dive. After a while people will learn to take a stick to the face and keep skating. They can call it the flopping penalty. Edited May 30, 2013 by Dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MibJab 4 Report post Posted May 30, 2013 LOL at 2:22 when the coach wraps his arm around Doughty to draw up a play and he holds a cheesy smile on his face to his teammates. Love it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
