Getzlaf dive of the year. (Gif and YT in OP)

[Little Psycho]

That's a dive.

 

[Habsawce]

Neal's was worse by far.

 

[LeeIs]

he wasn't diving but trying to recreate Bobby Orr famous flight celebration.

 

[aemoreira1981]

How can you not call that a dive? He kicks his legs over his head ffs.

It was called on the ice. Coincidental minors resulted.

 

[Lilou]

Never knew he was such a crybaby. He kept chirping at the refs and mock-clapped at the end after kessels goal.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Never knew he was such a crybaby. He kept chirping at the refs and mock-clapped at the end after kessels goal.

Poor officiating in a game will do that to someone. I know if I played and the officiating sucks I would complain.

 

[Grandrift145]

i know many people like Getzlaf and want to give him the benifit of the doubt

but come on

he was interfered with and decided to do a BellyFlop

no way he even goes down on a play like that if he didnt flop

 

[islesfan186]

7/10 for poor execution, but 10/10 for style points

 

[Derrty]

Twas a great flop

 

[Pyromaniac]

Neal takes the crown but Getz gets points for effort.

 

[HamiltonNHL]

Diving should be a 3min penalty.
To cut down on that ****.

 

[Bedards Dad]

Except it was heavily in the Ducks favour.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

This was 10x worse, Neals is so bad.

 

[kducks]

This was "offside".

Kazari then got mad and gave the Ducks a penalty for daring to question his stellar calls. Of course he clapped when Kessel scored, the refs helped out as much as they could.

Actually, the penalty was for berating the official, or as some call it, "whining".

Refs were not great but that goes both ways, Ducks got 2 undeserved power plays in the 1st and simply couldn't finish.

Blame the refs all you want, but at the end of the day, you should be frustrated at the lack of finish. Ducks definitely could have used Perry.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

No doubt this was a dive, as for him complaining after the leafs pp goal, he was absolutely right blown call that resulted in a bench minor for arguing that led to a stupid play by kesler not getting it in deep(which is understandable being down) to a goal that should've been saved but there was horrid ducks goaltending tnt

/gameover

 

[Mikeshane]

Didn't really look like a dive from that gif. Besides Wingels still has dive of the year.

Quote where I ever said we lost the game because of the refs? I was explaining the Getzlaf "whining" that Toronto fans want to throw out there.

 

[ECanuck]

Watch the way his skate turns as he is off balance. I don't think it was an intentional dive but it looks bad.

 

[bobbyt911]

this is bad but sometimes there is a sweet spot in there where a little slash can really hurt.

This was "offside".

there was way more to that off side then just that STILL. he went lateral with the puck on the line then when he crossed the line the other Duck player was over the line
go look at the whole play

 

[OzzyFan]

Neal's was far worse. Given the thread title, this disappointed me.

 

[Human]

that was a dive it wasn't even embelishment. why wouldn't he put his left skate back on the ice instead of diving forward? doesn't make any sense...

 

[illpucks]

*wasn't a dive

Isn't that what you meant?

 

[Snakepit]

Kesler has been giving him some lessons huh?

You beat me to it

 

[Atas2000]

OMG, Terrible. Got the penalty, waiting on gif.

Not a dive, just a very awkward losing the balance by Getzlaf. Hilariously stupid for a NHL player, but I don't think he was trying to get a penalty here.

P.S. I don't like Getzlaf or the Ducks much.
