Fining him $2,000 will sure show him!
its not about the money. Its the fact that the NHL itself has publicly called him a diver.
btw my money is on Gallagher to be next.....

Clearly a diveGetzlaf DID NOT dive or embellish. He lost his balance. The youtube video provides an angle that shows the viewers a diving motion without showing what happened to his left arm or left skate. People seeing that are quick to jump to a conclusion.
His left skate look at it (he loses an edge). His left arm look at it. He tries to balance himself as he is losing his balance. His right skate is moving faster than the left side of his body due to the collision.
His left arm is the clear item that proves there is NO embellishment or diving. If he was trying to dive he doesn't position it like that.
Things can look worse than they are. To you and many others this must look like embellishment.
It is clearly not but it looks like it.
People would say "Look how high his feet are in the air. That is not normal. It is clear embellishment."
There have to be some Red Wings on that list
It's about time they start cracking down on diving.
Honestly? My money is on it being James Neal again.
Burrows, Cooke, Kesler are probably hated as much or more. Until this he has kept his nose clean here in Nashville, but that dive was stupid, unnecessary, and hurts the team. Next time he is legitimately fouled the refs may not call it due to his reputation. I hate diving/embellishment especially from Predators' players. Outside of course the comical GIF's we get out of them.Is he the most hated player in the league? Like by players you think? He's easily the worst diver.
It's not so much the fine as the public shaming. A few years ago, a player (it may have been Neal) was eligible to be suspended for diving, but was not.
Neal in the record books! ''First to be fined on a dive''

Yeah, and Getzlaf didn't dive. My point is that refs aren't always right.
Burrows is pretty dirty himself and dives nightly.Cooke yes, I seriously doubt Burrows or Kesler. Not only does Neal dive, he's also a dirty player.
Burrows is pretty dirty himself and dives nightly.
The on ice penalty for diving should be a five minute major. If it's not called on the ice then it should be a suspension without pay for the next game. Second offense two games and so on.
Holy hyperbole.Burrows is pretty dirty himself and dives nightly.

I'd be happy if they'd stop calling it as a matching minor. You really want them to stop? Just call the dive. You'll see it stop real quick...
Holy hyperbole.
I can't remember the last time I saw Burrows dive and I watch every game. How often do you watch the Canucks? Last time in 2009 perhaps?
