Cant say I've ever seen anyone fined for embellishment before.

 

[Realgud]

Great news, but why him specifically?

 

[Big Erned Nevergivn]

Anyone got video of the dive(s)?

 

[GhostfaceWu]

Meanwhile rantanen dives like three times one on his self high stick in the last game he played.

Seems like this was one of them. Doesn’t look like much but he def fell easily.

I dunno why PK Subban's trust-fall dive isn't a GIF anymore, but this reminded me of that.

Need to get that money from someone I guess

This kinda just looks like he fell down, which isn't out of character for him from what I've seen this year.

 

[Three On Zero]

Shocking, this is not.

This needs to be more common. It feels like diving has gone way up in the past 5 years.

I mean - fining for diving is great in my opinion - but I'm not going to lie, it feels a little bit wacky that this is what's getting a fine.

Literally he just falls and gets back up and keeps playing. Didn't even look like he was looking for a call?

I feel like there's more egregious dives with head snaps and litigious arguments with refs in almost every game.

But far from me to get offended on behalf of thousands of a multimillionaires dollars.

The issue is the utterly lack of consistency. Players should be receiving this fine weekly yet this is the first time this season?

If I'm the player I appeal because the standard does not exist. Regardless of the low fine amount.

Yea man! I despise the Oilers, and often view them with my Flames colored glasses on. But this looks pretty inoccuous to me. There were probably worse embellishements that game, from both teams!

Right? I'd be having my agent put together a package of worse clips for sure.

Absolute garbage. Mikko Rantanen was swimming on his belly half the game like he was in Aquafit and not so much as a penalty never mind fine. Refalanche are alive and well.

And Oiler fans whine about Avs. Hypocritical jokes.

Curious to see how often the league gives out “warnings” for diving, and how long they last for.

 

[God]

so DoPS watches oilers games and simply choose not to fine mcdavid, got it

 

[crowi]

I mean he is a figure skater by his earlier profession, but this is a bit much with how much diving there is.
