Polaris922 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 @hf101That's great! I'm surprised there weren't any if Marchand's numerous dives in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 @Polaris922 Marchand went from being a great player who was a pest to a stupid player who's a pest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 @Polaris922 Hey the guy scored 11 goals in their cup run. Pretty good for a bottom 6 pest. This year? Zero goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 @Polaris922 No arguement. But when he's on your team and scoring you look at them differently. (cough) Matt Cooke, James Neal (cough) I was going to throw Rinaldo in there, but he doesn't score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(cough) Matt Cooke, James Neal (cough) I was going to throw Rinaldo in there, but he doesn't score.I never look at them differently. I called for Cooke to change and Neal as well. It's that side of Neal that has me torn on trading him. If it weren't for that I'd never consider it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyercanuck Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 @Polaris922 Sure. And if Marchand wasn't a scumbag you wouldn't think he was. Pens fans look at Neal as a goalscorer. Other teams fans look at him as a dirty player. He's both. Most people think Cooke should be doing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people think Cooke should be doing time.Neal should've received a longer suspension for his last incident, but it looks like he's been told to grow up. Cooke did well cleaning up his act until this playoffs. Sooner or later the league has to address him.As for prison, I reserve that for Bertuzzi/McSorley types.

flyerrod Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Yeah, I have to agree with hf101, as long as Plekanec/Subban/Briere are still playing,this thread should absolutely thrive. It is sickening to watch these refs continue to not call the dives perpetrated by the same individuals game after game. Are the refs not allowed to watch the tape and see just how bad they are being made fools of? There was a time when they actually had the ability to fine the divers and even suspend them after the fact. I remember it happening to Sean Avery(fined). In theory, it was supposed to embarrass the diver into stopping. Has that been removed from the CBA by the Actor's Guild or something?

Good question, I don't know the answer, but I have to say that bringing back fines after the game would be a great way to help end this embarrassment to the game. Increasing the fines for repeat offenders would be a plus also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory, it was supposed to embarrass the diver into stopping. Has that been removed from the CBA by the Actor's Guild or something?There is still something in the rules based on the last CBA that if a player gets 3 diving penalties, he receives a suspension of some sort. I know this because, sigh, James Neal was almost at the limit this year, and was called for a dive when it was not a dive. They postgame recinded the fact that it was a dive(not sure if in the official records is just says 2:00 for referee mistake) so that he did not face suspension.

Well, 1 out of a thousand isn't bad........I roared with laughter last night when this got called, even if it did benefit the stinkin' Rangers https://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/tomas-plekanec-s-embellishment-finally-gets-called-out-on-game-5-diving-penalty--video-021934726.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old School Hockey Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 I'm just sure why the NHL is so afraid it call the dive alone? People like Ribeiro should served many games of suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
