Biggest diver on your NHL team?

[crashman]

Every NHL player embellishes to some degree, but the only Red Wings player I would call a diver is Franzen. What makes it worse is that he's our biggest forward, but he's also the biggest sissy.

None.

It's one thing I am proud that the Wild do not do.

That's not true

I admit it was a stupid choice to go behind Montoya. Bot before that, you're telling me that when Bogosion pushed him on the net the way he did, it was a perfectly fine thing to do? Then when Montoya punched him in the face, that was a strong hockey play?

Geez I understand that it was your team that was favored on this play, but take off the homer glasses there, those were clear cut interferences on a guy that was nowhere near the puck/play.

If it had been against a Jets player, you'd all go bat**** about it.

I'm not saying Gallagher didn't embellish once on that play, but there's no way what happened there was perfectly within the rules. Those were very easy to see interferences on a guy who was trying to get out of the zone when his team was trailing by 1 goal with less than a minute to go in the game.

Jets deserved a penalty on the play without doubt, but didn't give b/c it was Gall doing his normal stick. Plus Gall kept looking at the refs begging for a call, well that never works.....that gets the ref to put away the whistle. If that had been any other player the Jets get 2 mins, but b/c it's Gall and his reputation they let it go.

Good on the refs, Gall could of avoided all/virtually all that if he wanted to.

Entire thread on the subject and beat to death already.

I love Gall, love to have on my team....but like any pest sometimes they cross the line into stupidity....like on this play. Sometimes you have to sit them down and say to them cut down on the BS and just play. Marchard is the same, he crosses the line at times and needs to be pulled back. It happens.

I used to be embarrassed by Carcillo's dives while he was on the Flyers

None.

It's one thing I am proud that the Wild do not do.

I'm struggling to think of one as well. Wild certainly don't have any blatant repeat divers.

Haula has acouple, but he' got so little experience its tough to put him into that category.

I have a sneaking suspicion Parise is a bit of a diver, but he's always moving his legs and working his bum off when he goes down, its tough to tell if its a dive when he does it.

I'd say Letang, and it's not really close here either. Kunitz has dove a lot this year, but Letang is definitely the worst.

 

[Chairman Maouth]

The worm has turned in Vancouver. I can't think of anyone. We got rid of our worst diver to Anaheim.

 

[SirPaste]

Lindstrom

 

[icKx]

Franzen, although not much anymore. Too much work maybe.

 

[TurdFerguson]

2 players called for dives last night. I would say for the hawks Shaw

Carcillo by a mile.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Turris and Smith for the Sens.

 

[BruinsNeedaRussian]

Marchand..not the slighest bit close

 

[Appleyard]

Rinaldo is pretty much the only guy on the Flyers who dives.

 

[Ducksforcup]

Ducks...

I have to give the crown to Perry for this one. Haven't really noticed anything too bad from Kesler (yet).

Vatanen is starting to get a reputation (deserved) for diving/embellishing as well.

haha, Burrows, oops it wasn't asking for biggest biters...

Someone mentioned Stajan as the biggest diver, well I really don't know whoe embellishes the most on the Flames, maybe Stajan but I am having a hard time pin pointing someone. Really, when have we been accused of diving?

 

[BernieParent]

Rinaldo is pretty much the only guy on the Flyers who dives.

I'd have to disagree. The first name that came to my mind on the Flyers is Giroux.

 

[McGlassbangers]

Definitely David Perron.

 

[NewAgeOutlaw]

Rinaldo is pretty much the only guy on the Flyers who dives.

What about Brayden Schenn? At least as of 2012 in that series against the Penguins he seemed to be falling over from the lightest touches.

As far as the Penguins- Kris Letang by a country mile.

 

[Raspewtin]

Used to easily Callahan.

It's probably Hagelin now. Though the Rangers don't have a really notorious diver. I don't agree with Brassard being the worst on the team.

 

[SJSharksfan39]

I've been told Logan Couture, but other than that one or two times in the playoffs, I haven't seen it. Maybe it's the rose colored Sharks glasses blinding me.

 

[Cousin Eddie]

Talbot

 

[Classicnamesup]

I've been told Logan Couture, but other than that one or two times in the playoffs, I haven't seen it. Maybe it's the rose colored Sharks glasses blinding me.

Indeed it must be because I have seen him, Pavelski and Thornton throw down some shameful dives. Just off the top of my head

 

[laforest]

Rinaldo or Giroux

 

[Human]

No pens fans

[M2Beezy]

Well used to be Laperrier and Kesler but there gone so is tough now. I dont think we have any any more and feels pretty good cause diving has to go

 

[Teemu]

Shaw for sure. He gives 100% for everything, including embellishments.
