You would jizz all over your trans pro-fit girlfriend to have a Shane Doan style player.

Great leader, hits, fights, decent hands, a real genuine person off the ice.

Any team would kill to have a guy like that.

I mean Doan..

I don't think players exploit diving it's not soccer.
- Fredobface

You would be wrong.

Lunch Time!!!

I like diving when done properly. I don't like refs calling hooks AND dives.

I'll take skilled cheaters over goons any day.
- BINGO!

That has always frosted my nuts. You can't have a hook if a player dives, and you can't be diving if you were legitimately fouled.

You would be wrong.

Kadri & Subban lol

Those types of players are a dying breed. After Iginla and Doan are done, are there really any 5-tool guys left (leader/hits/fights/scores/off ice character)?

Same with revoking a goal & not calling a goalie interference penalty

Did you (frank)ing see Karlsson last night against Florida?

(frank)ing guy gets highsticked in the back of the helmet in the dying minutes of the game. Falls down and grabs his face. And Sens fans blast Subban every chance they get...

The icing on the cake was that Florida scored an EN shorty in the ensuing PP.

You can do that if it's incidental contact; that I don't mind.

One way or another you're penalizing one of two players for doing nothing wrong.

Sure, a guy can embellish something a little, but if a legitimate infraction occurred, who cares? It's like the hideous overreactions to high-sticking sometimes. Where are the diving calls on those?

You missed the part about scoring?

I haven't followed him this year but wasn't Landeskog supposed to fit that?
