Dive! Watch the players who don't choose to dive, get puck in the unprotected area and skate off in visible pain. Jagr choose to lay down - obvious dive.
Sometimes injured players do not get up. When I had my knee injured in junior I was face down on the ice and had to be helped off after the play was stopped.

Yeah, it happens when the real injury happens not when you fall when you skate at 5 km an hour.
Looks to me like the initial contact was at the knee, and only after that on the thigh as Jagr rolled over him. That was the proper call by IIHF rules.
He appeared to suffer a knee injury and did not play the remainder of the game as I recall.
He faked the injury (not clear if it was knee) which resulted in 7 minutes of PP for his team. Then they were shorthanded for 2 minutes, that was about all for the game, not much of a remainder.

I'm pretty sure he didn't play on the PP. That, to me, told a lot about his injury.
You're like ready to pounce on the person who doesn't agree with you.
You should not be saying that considering you cheer for a national team that is renowned for their diving in international tournaments.
Well, the worst dive I have seen is from Gretzky in the 87 series - so everyone wants to dive if the refs are ok with that. So nobody is innocent, this just kills the sport, embarasses it.
