Is this the worst flop ever ?

[oobga]

That's a beauty. How he doesn't touch the ice with his left skate after the slash until his body is parallel to the ice. Epic victory over gravity to create the maximum possible sell job.

This one might be up there for best dives along with the day avery almost died.

 

[Reddwit]

I'm not sure.

I want to say he sold that either way, but a good whack to the hamstring can hurt like hell even if it doesn't look like much in the gif.

You must not be familiar with Mike Smith.

That's not even Mike Smith's best dive.

 

[Hockeyfan2390]

This is the best flop of all time.

 

[Reddwit]

Doesn't matter. Now he's trying to dive to get goals not to count. The guy is a loser.

NOW? He's been doing that forever.

In a world where every NHL goaltender is an egregious diver, Mike Smith is an absolute stand-out. I've never agreed with the drama queens who call for suspensions when a player dives until now. Forget Neal or Brown or Ribsy; Smith has highlight diving reels like Kane or Datsyuk have highlight dangle reels - they do it every game, so the highlight reels only end up showing the stand-outs.

Jumbo Joe gets my vote for worst dive.

 

[Alluckks]

came in here hoping to see a Mike Smith video and OP delivered. all is right in the hockey universe
dude is a gigantic worm

anyone remember this?

He was doing this same exact thing 4 years prior to that incident.



He is a piece of trash. It is m/o the way he slashes behind the knees. Hope he gets some karma one day.

The only thing better than the Smith flop was OEL's. Someone needs to get these guys acting courses.

This goes to the Thornton drama on the Emelin hit.

But man, Mike Smith is quite the actor.

 

[Mrb1p]

It's four O clock in the morning, I'm a bit tipsy, and this thread is my life right now.

Keep the dive GIFS coming.

(I don't want to play videos, I'm way too lazy.)

 

[Not Sure]

Panarin's dive to give Risto his first penalty of the year, last year, was the worst I've seen. I'm still salty they gave Risto a penalty. Apparently the video has been removed everywhere I've tried to get the video. I guess the NHL doesn't want it's stars looking bad.

Edit: found a gif

 

[Over the volcano]

Need more refs like this one

 

[Hutz]

Soccer is worse though. Even the coaches flop:

Not a dive, but made me think of this

 

[pvr]

all things consider, for mike smith, that wasnt that bad. i was expecting gloves flying and screams of pain ala...

Here you go...

That's not even Mike Smith's best dive.

The yard sale on the Shaw "hit" is absolutely hilarious.

Smith is trash.

 

[Sheppy]

How has no one just jumped and pounded this guys head in?

 

[Bizz]

Jumbo Joe gets my vote for worst dive.

I always laugh at this one because the Wings were diving left and right the entire ****ing game until that point and getting away with it

 

[Jesus Take the Wheel]

Need more refs like this one

Wait he got called for embellishment and that was the only penalty called? That makes me so happy compared to the Nhl these days

 

[SabreOil]

Read the title....expected to see 7 of spades, 2 of hearts and 9 of clubs.

Underrated post

 

[BlackDogg]

Mike Smith is the definition of a flop.
