Toronto's Matthew Knies With A Horribly Disgusting Embellishment

[Hunter368]

Yeh that was one of the worse dIves/faking I’ve seen this playoffs by any player. Soccer level faking there, stick or tip of stick wasn’t even close to his face or chin.

Bad look so soon in his career, hopefully one of the vets talk to him and tell him don’t do that again.

 

[Gizmo Tkachuk]

Yeah that’s not great. Did he have a reputation for embellishing before?

 

[WarriorofTime]

That should be a fine.

 

[shaner82]

Agreed. What an embarassment of a play(er).
Sad thing is there some who will defend that disgrace

Defend the action? No. I hate that shit
Defend the player? Absolutely

He's young and did something I find dumb. Hopefully someone pulls him aside and tells him to cut it out. I'm not about to write him off over one little thing

 

[Koivu11]

If you’re gonna do that at least wait until a stick gets near your face.

Absolutely embarrassing for the kid.

 

[Guided by Veseys]

That’s pretty weird. I’m sure Tampa fans would agree that he hasn’t had a noticeable embellishment any other game series. He just usually hounds the puck and plays an honest game. Glad there was no call.

Horribly disgusting!!!!!!!!!

Or just acting the way the majority of the league acts when a stick goes anywhere near their face.

The absolute drama of the thread title is hilarious

 

[Devonator]

Its bad for sure but I have seen much worse.

 

[mkatcherin00]

The stupid thing is that the refs will watch this and then not give him the benefit of the doubt. What if it is an important time of the game and he gets high sticked. They might not call it. At least make sure the stick is near your face

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Its bad for sure but I have seen much worse.

Exactly. Who cares? It happens every game.

 

[Frederixx]

Ronaldo would be jealous. Players should get fined for fakes

 

[PeE eL DuBoiS]

Yeah, that's a terrible look. Not impressed.
