Well, Smith's head didn't get hit until he hit the ice, so he couldn't exactly throw his legs out as you describe.

Couture has dove a lot in the past. He doesn't do it that much anymore. But, that clip you provided isn't a dive. Take a butt end slash to the chin by an nhler and see what your legs do.

Plekanec hits Krejci with a lot more force and he falls to the ice. Legs don't do anything special, least of which do the kick out that Couture did. He was embellished the contact from Sedin, but in a similar buttend situation, the legs didn't kick out from under Krejci despite the fall.

They weren't hit in the same spot, plus different people react to getting slashed in the face differently.

Plus, does it really matter what Couture did? Henrik hit him in the face. Clear as day infraction, but most would rather worry if Couture dressed it up some.
