What Players Have Actually Ever Been Fined, Suspended, or Penalized in Anyway for Diving/embellishment?
No banter please. This isnt singling out any ONE player Id just like to know how often it is enforced and in what cases it has been deemed warranted.
Here’s the NHL’s ruling, courtesy of Bob:
64.3 Fines and Suspensions – Regardless if a minor penalty for diving / embellishment is called, Hockey Operations will review game videos and assess fines to players or goalkeepers who dive or embellish a fall or a reaction, or who feign injury. See also Rule 28 – Supplementary Discipline. The call on the ice by the Referee is totally independent of supplementary discipline.
The first such incident during the season will result in a warning letter being sent to the player or goalkeeper. The second such incident will result in a one thousand dollar (,000) fine. For a third such incident in the season, the player shall be suspended for one game, pending a telephone conversation with the Director of Hockey Operations. For subsequent violations in the same season, the player’s suspension shall double (i.e. first suspension – one game, second suspension – two games, third suspension – four games, etc.) See also Rule 28 – Supplementary Discipline.
Ive never heard of any of these rules being applied to any NHLer. Have you?
BQ – whens the last time you saw an embellishment penalty called WITHOUT an accompanying offsetting minor to the opposing player?
thanks for just sayin. i dont ever recall insisting you dont answer in the same way. i encourage thorough answers. i dont see the point of one line answers and one line questions.
also, thank you for taking the time to tell me you dont know.
if youre referring to me saying "no banter"…that has to do with my last question regarding diving which turned out to be a bit too edgy for most people.
therefore, I dont want the same people getting their bowels in an uproar over this question. Im not saying no discussion, I mean no b*tching. perhaps banter wasnt the best word.
Im being a jerkoff for defending myself? and where do you see yelling?
sorry nigel, nobody here speaks gay except t-bone.
stupid brits.
tuesday – was avery fined for diving or for some other outrageous antics?
Yowzers. People around here can be touchy.
Avery was fined a few years back. No surprise there really.
I don’t really know. I don’t understand why you can always write enormously long and chatty questions but insist that we don’t answer the same way. Just sayin’…..
Yelling at Meerkat is like yelling at your innocent grandma…quit being a jerkoff man.
Anyway Craig Anderson was caught diving about a week ago.
