Phil Kessel RIDICULOUS Embellishment

It is disgusting how the NHL allows dives like this to be made and calls like this to be made, the only penalty here is 2 minutes for unsportsmanlike conduct. This is a big problem in the NHL. From a game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Vancouver Canucks on Saturday, November 13th, 2010 at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Ontario.

that was nothing compared to Ehrhoffs dive. Watch that one and tell me witch one is worse

[NHLArchive]

@10hockeygod10 this one was

[10hockeygod10]

@NHLArchive Game is too fast. I'd say his instinct from "his sholder pad" getting him in the face he thought was a stick and yes a little embellishment was drawn. But Ehrhoffs jumping in the air, knees to his chest crying for help is any better?

[NHLArchive]

@10hockeygod10 they were both bad, but i don't see how any kind of contact could warrant what kessel did here

@NHLArchive lol, go back and watch the 4 embellishments van did. You have to keep in mind 1 thing. When you are playing a team that keeps getting bs penalties called because they keep faking a hit, slash, highstick than yeah the leafs (kessle) and probably more are sick of it. So you fight fire with fire.

Cankucks really embellished that game and had a lot of calls made based on dives mainly. Even the announcers are laughing how weird canucks are acting. A point where enough is enough

[NHLArchive]

@TheRachelmarie89 ok, im not a fan for either team so i don't care. Instead of bellyaching that your team isn't getting calls why not rise up and let the nhl know they have a serious diving problem at the moment.

Here it is. youtube video = WUqdlSL_4KQ (wont let me paste link?) classic tucker. This is not a casting for a hockey movie. this really happend. BTW he played on the power play :|

[ecszone]

I think darcy tucker has to be tie for some of the worst diving. that guy was a tool. This is just embarrassing though coming from a "superstar" heh. NHL is encouraging this behavior. They need to start tracking diving which should be considered before making calls. Also calling penalties for it w/o it being a coincidental minor call. They did this in the early 21 centry i belive and i think it helped. then they just stopped. now players are using the new rules to make it worse.

@10hockeygod10 This one was worse because he held his chin acting like he's hurt.

[hatrewq78645]

It's called drawing a penalty

[pissed7off]

Who the fuck cares if "someone else does it too", if YOU do it too, then it reflects badly on YOU.

BREAKING NEWS EVERY TEAM IN THE NHL WILL DIVE AT SOME POINT THIS SEASON

[Xeodox]

Giving the Canucks a taste of their own medicine.

[offtherock11]

lol, funny cause kessel is playing against the vancouver canucks, who like to heave themselves onto the ice everytime they get touched

[Ctveezy]

it's cause van was doing it all night, every game they're diving around, like kesler when grabo hardly touched him, kesler has like 30 pounds on him but acted like it was chara hitting him....fuck the nucks go anyone else for the cup

[deets987]

it was still a high stick either way though
