Irrelevant and not thread worthy, something that happens in 90% of the games, but since it was a Pen, crying and whining ensues.

If that determined the game, Bruins have much bigger problems...

It's funny how it's usually ONLY Penguins fans that defend their players' cowardly and ridiculous play.

It's funny how only Pens fans get called for something every fanbase does.

Every game its the Pens against the other team and the refs.. We finally get a call with 3 games remaining in the season and there has to be a thread made about it? Y is every teams fans so jealous of us Pens fans? Its so annoying.. We have all the talent so just deal with it

Probably because there isn't a thread made about Raggedy Ann Hartnell flopping to the ice anytime he is touched

Get over it. You could find a picture of at least one guy on each team doing this very thing this year.
No no no. Hartnell doesn't dive he clearly just can not skate. It is known in Philly he can't. I believe he is at 365 #hartnelldowns this year. He isn't diving, he just can't stay up on his feet

I have no clue what the penalty was (didn't watch the second period) so I have no idea on that, but my point still stands. Whether it got him good, it barely grazed his face, Letang got the **** scared out of him, and honestly, who wouldn't?

He was hit with the stick up high, but in the face? Maybe barely.

I don't think his overreaction was to "I GOT HIT!" I think it was "holy **** dude! Watch what you're doing!"... which led to the referees thinking he got hit.

Embellishment is probably the best word for it, but I don't think that was his intention. It's far from a dive, because he was definitely hit high with the stick, but I can't see him embellishing this.

You want to see an embellishment, go watch Carcillo being "punched" in the finals by a Chicago player.

Why do people keep bringing up past Bruins dives? We know the Bruins and all teams dive. Stop trying to deflect this. Only drags this thread on.

please point to the post where I said that the bruins (or any team for that matter) don't dive.

Actually, Vancouver and Montreal fans have been chiming in as well. Always appreciate expert opinons on these matters.

My team embellishes less than your team does.

Then what is the point of this thread then. All teams dive.

I'm just showing the OP that the Bruins dive as well and those few I showed were in the SCF.

This may be the best thing I've read on HF in awhile
