I hope he's ashamed of himself. They fined him like 20 dollars but to publicly put him out there like that. I love it.

Who will be the next guy to get fine for diving? My money is on Prust.

 

[LetsGoBLUES91]

The dive against the Blues haunts my dreams. Glad he got something for this one.

Is he the most hated player in the league? Like by players you think? He's easily the worst diver.

Honestly? My money is on it being James Neal again.

 

[TheInsignia]

Fining him $2,000 will sure show him!

Getzlaf. In four days.

Seriously, add a couple zero's to that number and he will never do it again.

Nice joke. Since when did losing your balance become diving?

 

[The Macho King]

Amazing.

 

[Jackets Fan]

He's such a *****. It's dirty players like him that disgrace the NHL.

 

[Timbo Slice]

The reputation this will bring will definitely outweigh the $2000 fine.

 

[Rand0m]

I think the fine itself is probably the max allowed under the CBA.

However, refs will definitely know and he won't get any calls

 

[Maple Leaf]

Neal don't care.

Exactly, 2k is laughable but the refs and the league is on notice now. Shaaaaaaaame

 

[johnnystormcgy]

What is diving? Anyways...

 

[Papaspud]

Getzlaf. In four days.

On Sunday the 21st? Really?

 

[Deutschland Dangler]

The first one to get fined or the first one to get his fine announced?

 

[Six Assets]

good

Under a new set of rules for this season, players will be given a warning for their first dive, a $2,000 fine for their second, a $3,000 fine for their third, a $4,000 fine for their fourth and a $5,000 fine for any and every dive after that

That would prove they don't know what they're doing.

Ever since kicking both feet up in the air to give the impression of literally diving in order to sell an interference call became easy to recognize.

 

[Quarter]

On Sunday the 21st? Really?

Sorry, I meant in three days. Four days after the incident though, just like Neal.

Better than nothing.
