The Penguins are stinking up the game and it's pathetic. They do it every game. I don't know if it's a diet thing or what it is, but it's an embarrassment.

I'm not saying it's ok. I'm saying alot of posters act like their team don't ***** the same *****.

What I'm actually questioning ... is the natural instinct to jerk your head when a stick is swung in the area. I'm not saying this for letang in particular, I mean diving in general. It's hard to judge due to that reason

the YT looks like it definitely could have hit him in the face. But it was also definitely embellished. Not a straight dive though.

I was being sarcastic.....Sure it's not appropriate and it's a dick move, but whoever said diving is equivalent to murder on HF is right. It's not the end of the world.

Sure he embellished the contact from the stick, didn't agree with the call. But if you take a look at the referee who calls it, he can't see where the stick actually hit Letang. All he can see was Peverley's stick come up and Letang's head snap back, if I saw that, I would have thought it would have been a high stick as well.

Seems like a lot of people take more pleasure in complaining on here then rooting for a team.

People need to learn the definitions of these 2 words: diving and embellishing

He got hit in the face with a high stick. Why is this being discussed.

Hope Boychuk isn't out for long.

No need for injuries this close to the playoffs.

Listen dude. Every single Pens fan posting right now has said that he dove. But calm your ****ing ****. The league is not a sinking ship that Letang just drove the rest of the way under the water. Get over yourself.

Was a dive, no one is arguing it... but still not an excuse to let up 2 goals.

In the context of the NHL Rulebook, they are part and parcel of the same rule:

Rule 64

Diving is such a tired subject. Every team has a few guys that do it. Its too bad that its part of the game but nobody on here can do anything about it. "****in way she goes".

Not to hate on the Bruins, just pointing out EVERY team dives (including my Canucks), so quit acting butt hurt.

It's obviously not the equivalent, however to use the excuse "everyone does it, get over it" is essentially saying that any action taken by someone else becomes acceptable. Thus, murder happens so it must be "okay" for someone to do it because of the act of another.


The poster who claimed it was the equivalent was more along the lines of saying that the "everyone does it, get over it" argument was an illogical argument / poorly constructed argument which could be substituted with the act of murder.

Then why get so defensive when someone claims such? To quote your previous post, "stop being a biased homer."
