Dougie Hamilton Fined for Embellishment

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Why are you bringing up Martin Necas in a thread about Douglas Hamilton, defenseman for the New Jersey Devils, being fined for diving?

I sense a common theme between them

 

[stymie]

And the Academy Award goes to...

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Hamilton probably dove.

Necas probably dove.

 

[CanesUltimate11]

Yeah, Hamliton probably dove and got penalized for it in game + in his pockets. See how hard that was to admit, now you guys next. Also funny how you guys are glossing over the fact he was a former Hurricane too

He’s been a Devil longer then he was a Hurricane so try again bub.

 

[bleedgreen]

2K fine is the second step so it tracks



Hopefully Necas's head is ok after his latest dive in Florida the other night

lol how are you making THAT one a dive? He didn’t see it coming and took an unintentional shoulder to the jaw. Then had concussion protocol.

The diving never leaves your body even if you leave the Canes

Surprised Noesen doesn't do it

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

Embarrassing stuff. This is why the Hurricanes let him walk as a UFA. Any team that would currently employ his services should be ashamed

So just so I get this straight: You spent a good portion of 22 pages last time claiming Necas dove because he didn’t head to the locker room when his leg went horizontal against Meier.

But now you’re claiming Necas ALSO dove last game when he spent half the period in concussion protocol after taking a hit to the head from Verhaeghe.

And you don’t see the irony or the contradiction in those two stances?

Bootlicking the NHL when they have shown to be the worst league in terms of suspensions/fines, lmao

Glad to see you showed up again on the main board after you made a false claim about Luke not missing time in the Avs game and never bothered showing up again in that other thread.

But also at least, Necas was out there to score the empty netter in the game. Must have had a massive headache. What a warrior.

Okay, so now it’s a dive if a player gets injured and doesn’t leave the game entirely? Is that where you’re moving the goalpost? I’m just trying to follow the logic you’re providing.

 

[the_fan]

He really needs to take some acting classes

 

[jani]

Did a better job in that schedule reveal video or whatever.

 

[BullyHockey]

10/10 for the attempt.

Diving is a big part of the Hurricane’s game plan, second only to Brind’Amour making funny faces.

 

[mightbeabird]

I don't think anyone can really call out anyone's team for diving. Every team has/had a diver and it's put up with because it works. The fact that the total fine numbers are so low shows that the NHL doesn't REALLY care. Every competition has it greasy side. Some people are more willing to take advantage of it than others.

Sucks to suck.

 

[ItWasJustified]

this is a play I would consider as borderline since the Rangers player looks to be making a hooking/spearing motion so I can see why he goes down.

 

[Statto]

In a vacuum I don’t particularly have an issue with a player going down to draw attention to a genuine infraction. However the rule is a good one because without it we’d have players taking advantage and going down with the slightest contact. Unfortunately it’s always going to be subjective to some degree, we have to accept it.

I’m a football (soccer) fan also and the diving is an embarrassment. It’s actually improved in recent years, certainly in the Premiership, but it’s still a big issue.

 

[Look Up]

3 stars Stutzle award for Hamiliton. Missing the finesse needed for 5 stars.

 

[Paper]

Wouldn't expect anything less from a museum goer.
