Worst dive or flop you’ve seen

[RangerBlues]

Sidney Crosby is missing from this thread.

Sidney Crosby is missing from this thread.

Not really, check these out.

Early Crosby had some real doozies

Reminds me of Don Cherry's comments on Crosby behavior, early on in his career. lol

 

[Kaner9]

I saw a hilarious gif of Markstrom diving years ago. No memory of the game or team or any that. Just the hilarious dive.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

Thornton only did that to show up the Refs because the Wings were diving all series long & getting away with it.

 

[kingpest19]

A Dustin Brown thread without any Dustin Brown yet?

There was one from the playoffs I believe, that was his worst ever. He started going down before contact was even made

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

this is a classic too

Man there should be a Diving Major penalty for that kind of crap.

You can see him waiting to be touched and then leaps off his skates.

 

[IranCondraAffair]

The Ribeiro one is the worst I've seen on the TV.

Derek Roy was the GOAT at diving though. f***ing CONSTANT.

 

[Grub]

Anyone remember this one haha. Ryan Kesler back in the day.

 

[Grub]

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Yeah that doesn't look like a dive to me.

 

[MessierII]

Found it

Stuff like this doesn't bother me as much as trying to game the ref into thinking something happened that didn't.

The purpose of Lindell's dive is to attempt to get illegal play called. There is no reason for those crosschecks to be part of the game. Lazy and cowardly.

yeah, he popped up smiling, he was lovin it and it was working cause the blues were losing their f***in minds

trolling is definitely a step above outright acting

 

[Maffew]

Roberio for the scabs and kovalev...should have been banned from the league!

If a comment could get a penalty for embellishment...

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

Found it

I was waiting for this one.

 

[heysmilinstrange]

Thornton getting his foot amputated by Franzen.

Joe Thornton's famous playoff intensity in action.

 

[Alwalys]

Yup people always ignore the context. Also he was getting slashed to f*** and literal non-negotiables like high sticks were being ignored on him.

 

[Boomstick]

This should be a winning candidate.

 

[redandyellowcametobe]

That’s a trip IMO

 

[HanSolo]

Can't find video of it which is not surprising considering very few were upset by it but in a Nashville-Anaheim playoff game, Kevin Bieksa lifted his stick near Forsberg's face. At first blush it looked like it was a high stick but an alternate angle showed the stick was about a foot away from Forsberg's face as the blade went up and never touched him. Didn't stop Forsberg from acting like he took a 9mm to the forehead at point blank, drawing the high stick call, and Nashville scoring the game winner on the ensuing powerplay. Have never forgotten that one.

 

[Garbageyuk]

Blandisi. You know the one. Looked like someone sniped him in the leg from the nose-bleeds.

 

[Garbageyuk]

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

Lol'd. Also, I miss when TSN was legit...so much nostalgia.

 

[volcom92886]

Another Kesler flop...

 

[stl76]

this is a classic too

Yeah this was the first one that came to mind for me too. One of the worst of the past few years anyway.

I was a huge Lindell fan before this incident. Hated watching that, lost a lot of respect for him.

 

[notsocommonsense]

this is a classic too

How awesome would it have been if the ref had the balls to give lundell a triple minor for the 3 dives there
