The Canucks are another example of this, how is the league supposed to sell their product to a skeptical American public when they see players like Subban and Alex Burrows diving all over the ice like they just got shot when someone checks them. Subban should have gotten a diving penalty after that hit by Thornton, and I'm starting to think diving penalties are not enough. You start giving guys misconducts for diving and maybe they think twice. This isnt just a Bruins fan angry about a loss, Marchand dives all over the place as well and it isnt good for the sport. Montreal is just one of the more egregious violators.

You guys are sore losers. The Bruins are just a guilty as anyone, and do you think that any diving had any ramifications on your team losing that game? Because the only dive that did, was the one where Seguin does down in a heap and caused Chara to flip out. Honestly, I watch every single Habs game and I don't see it being any worse than other teams. A player gets a stick in the face, they throw their head back. A player gets pushed into the boards, they fall down. It's part of the game, and ultimately refs can be manipulated.

You should all watch this:
