radoran Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 NHL fines Kadri, Yakupov and Hanzal for embellshing too often http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2016/04/01/nhl-fines-kadri-for-three-dives-in-the-past-two-months/ We now allow time for this thread to devolve into a "discussion" about Sidney Crosby. (ninja) No, Claude Giroux isn't on that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyerrod Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Long overdue and there are definitely more names that should be added. Marchand came to mind long before Crosby or Giroux. Cousins has been hamming up the contact pretty good too. I would not mind seeing him fined if it would stop him from doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris922 Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Can you imagine if they did this on a regular basis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WordsOfWisdom Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 I'd have to see the highlights on the Kadri dives to know for sure. Kadri is more of a target out there. Teams take liberties with him and get away with all kinds of BS penalties that the refs don't call. When you're getting knocked around out there like a ping pong ball, what they call "diving" is just self preservation for a soft landing! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluPuk Posted April 2, 2016 Share Posted April 2, 2016 Agree @WordsOfWisdom, Kadri is not normally a diver. He is certainly not on a par with some of the others mentioned in this thread. While I applaud the NHL's efforts to rid the game of divers, these fines are in reality used to raise fines money for the NHL owners, and add to the steaming pile of hyperbole the NHL shovels out to the "press". The NHL could do themselves a world of good by donating 100% of those fines monies to the NHL players' pension fund.......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they would post the highlights when they write a story like that. I'd like to see the dives myself so I can give them a score from 1 to 10.

I enjoy our give and takes and different points of views more often than not. For a Pens fan, you are definitely more grounded than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had discussed this before in the shoutbox about starting a highlight reel of the most egregious candidates for the Greg Louganis award and sending it to the NHL. If I was more tech saavy, and had the time, I would do it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
