James Neal vs Boston. The ref hard calling him out on it while he keeps trying to sell it is gold.

Thornton getting his foot amputated by Franzen.

Lol, you beat me to it. Thornton has had some doozies.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

2004 Canadiens in round 1.

You have the classic Mike Ribiero convulsing on the ice he was so "injured"



And you have Kovalev trying to sell a slash, running into a teammate and causing a game winning break away in 2OT of game 4

 

[Nasti]

Tumbleweed Kesler comes to mind.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Yea, I mean this HAS to be at the #1 of every list. Not only was it a terrible dive/embellishment, but it also ended up with a comical running into his own player, then having a OT game winning goal against them Karma at it's finest.

[The Macho King]

Ovi's Platoon reenactment from the 2013 or 2014 season comes to mind?

I don't think that really belongs here.

 

[tny760]

this is a classic too

 

[TheGoldenGod]

Probably something from Arvidsson or Filip Forsberg

 

[Captain Creampuff]

this is a classic too

Good ol Swimdell looking like a fish out of water.

 

[Legionnaire11]

Probably something from Arvidsson or Filip Forsberg

Surely it must be so obvious, there has to be an endless number of clips you could choose to post here... we're all eagerly waiting!!!

 

[heretik27]

Not in the NHL, but I have to rib my old classmate here because it's one of the worst dives I've ever seen lol

 

[3074326]

I don't think that really belongs here.

Nope.

this is a classic too

This is pretty crazy.

I cringe whenever I see Ribeiro spasming on the ice, what a glorious day that must have been for Bruins fans lol

 

[Combat Koala]

Lots of good ones in this thread already but when I think of embellishment, for some reason, I always think of this James Neal cannonball dive:

 

[TeddyBare]

Always hated Mike Smith, just a clown for these examples. Flat out embarrassing.
He is easily the biggest diver in the league currently

 

[cliffclaven]

Gotta be something from floppa on YouTube.

 

[MessierII]

Where’s that Kesler one where he goes full tumbleweed.
