I'm not talking dizzee specifically. Most boards I venture to after an Avs game there's complaints about us diving. I just wondered if anyone thought where there was smoke there was fire, or if it's just loser fans being loser fans.
I don't care what they think, but I am curious why they think it.
There are fans that just don't want to accept that Makar is really good, so they have to try to accuse him of something. The other night, when that crybaby evason went off because he thought Makar dove - the mild easily had TWO of their players take massive dives - and one was Capri-Sun. So they can all go f*** themselves. He deserved to get fired - he was a shithead.
I don't see it with Frail Cale but I feel like I've seen Rants diving before on several occasions. Could be just the fact he's bambii on skates though. MacK just bitches and whines a lot but I feel like he doesn't dive.
Rantanen certainly embellishes and does dive every now and then but at the same time, he falls down more than any Avalanche. I think he has random vertigo or something.
Every game i see something from the Avs that looks like a possible dive, the other team is doing the same shit anyway. That's hockey.
Every team has guys that will go down easily when they feel like they can draw a call. Rantanen is certainly like that for us. I don't think Mackinnon or Makar do it, they absolutely get taken down.
Avs consistently get more calls than any other team in the league. This whole weird conspiracy that the refs hate the Avs is so completely out of touch with reality. The Avs' net penalties is something like 50% higher than anybody else in the league over the last 3+ seasons.
I don't think there's a conspiracy against the Avs at all but I do think there is really f***ing shitty officiating. The other night against Calgary, it was weird because they got a few of the trickier calls correct (like when the lames had 2 guys go after Miles Wood in the scrum - the correct call was made) but they missed a ton of hooks and trips the entire night.
The game against TB last night, you have erik cernak swinging his stick like he's frikkin' Paul Bunyan with the ref looking right at him and the idiot just lets him go - no problems there.
Can't give him a penalty because he doesn't want to get yelled at by jon cooper. It's a joke.
The best officiating is when you don't even notice they are out there... on most nights, that's not what happens.
