If refs aren't going to call the dives, (or miss them, it can be hard to see everything in a fast paced game) then fines should be handed out. That's the only way they will stop this pussy play. Did anybody see the Dan Carcillo dive? A stick touched his hand and he acted like he got stabbed in the throat. Not to mention Divin' Devin Setoguchi and Nabakov.
As a Wings fan, I have seeing them lose. But even more so, as a hockey fan, I hate seeing anybody lose because of terrible officiating.
I saw the Carcillo dive. What do you expect from that pathetic little bitch? I couldn't believe the refs fell for that one though. I mean, it's Dan Carcillo!?!?!? Wouldn't they be expecting some bitch-made behaviour from that little bitch?
The thing about playoff hockey that I hate the most is the way that officials call more penalties. They should bury their whistles and let them play in the postseason, not increase the amount of whistles.
And fines are a great idea for diving. Hefty ones. We don't want our sport to become like soccer. We aren't supposed to be pussies. We're supposed to be the toughest of athletes. There needs to be repercussions for this kind of pussy behaviour.
