Ya, that was a dive.

That being said, it's hard to get any points when all my players keep leaving their games.

it was absolutely a dive. Don't be a blind homer. Was not a hard spear at all.

Cedric stop posting and get the picks out so we can see them

Hey, as soon as reeveta sends me the file to start tracking I'll be on it real quick, but until then all I can do is post!

Whether you think it was a dive or not, it was clearly a spear.

One doesn't need to be a homer to see that. Its the homer in you that makes you blind to what everyone else, including the official who was looking right at the play, saw.

does anyone know why samsonov didn't start for Russia?

yes it was a spear and by the rules it is 5 and a game. That doesn't mean Konecny didn't flop on it. He didn't need to do that.

and how am I a homer? Nice logic there. Cuz I'm not Canadian eh.

Canadian fans are the worst when it comes to this tournament lol

I'd say he did the exact thing anyone would do if they just took a stick to the midsection. It's a reaction, not a dive.

I don't have to be a homer to know that. Let me come jab your guts with a stick and see what your reaction is.

Call it a dive it helps you get by. The word that comes to the top of my head is stupid.

He went down on the ice like he was shot, that is not a reaction lmao. It was a flop. Pretty clear. It's a typical Gallagher-Burrows-Marchand type move.

If it was a dive, I applaud the move. The play wasn't even live. Nothing to lose by going down and selling the call. It's not like he could've played through and had a scoring chance. Just good gamesmanship. If Debrincat wants to be an idiot, make him pay.

I have no problem with Konecny selling an obvious spear. Boneheaded move by DeBrincat.

sure there would be something to lose. The PP could shave been cut to 3 minutes if he got a diving penalty.

Nobody should encourage diving. Period. If this was an American doing it or if this was soccer, you'd be calling it out for what it was. Diving isn't OK just because it was Canada who did it.

it was an obvious spear therefore he did not have to sell it. He just makes himself look stupid.

barzal makes it 1-0. glad i nabbed him, was doubting it when he was listed as the 13th forward.

I'm fine with embellishing a penalty that actually happens because there aren't enough called for the number of infractions that take place though you could debate the need in international hockey.
