> Easy, it happens all the time in the NHL. I cross check you, not hard but enough to be illegal, but you flop on the ice as though hit by a truck. Ref doesn’t like your embellishment and calls you for the dive, while calling me for original infraction.

i see what youre saying but i dunno… still dont think its right… it was a pretty good check to the front of him…

if anyones ever been on skates and got pushed backwards like that, being caught off guard, youre gonna fall… i dont think he dove that time, it shoulda been a cross check. the fact that original penalty gets called and then a min later, they send ruutu to the box was dumb… call both right there, dont sit and think bout it

although i dont agree with the tripping penalty to franken-hatcher on malkin… malkin forced the penalty and hatch really didnt do anything.
