Worst dive or flop you’ve seen

[Captain Creampuff]

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

? You guys lost that game lmao

ain't my team. my avatar's v2 of corey perry crying after elimination

Lost the game and took maybe our worst D man off the ice for one of their best. Might have worked if he hadn't oversold it, and gotten a 5-on-3. Not like it's hard to get Bortuzzo pissed off; he beats up his own teammates.

 

[Just Linda]

I can't find it but I believe it was Pk Subban I'm thinking of. Around 2015. Goes down to the ice kicking like he's injured but gets up right after.

This thread is clearly missing the incident where Bobrovsky nearly dislocated his hip by throwing the hardest embellishment I have ever seen.

 

[Grub]

Kesler is the winner.

I actually don’t mind those Nashville jerseys. I think they’d look better if the grey yoke and blue outline were switched, but they’re nice looking otherwise.

Some of the posters here are taking Esa Lindell's triple dive against St. Louis way too seriously. He's not looking at the ref trying to sell the dives, he's trolling and laughing at Bortuzzo because Bortuzzo is such a dumb player.

Perhaps your outrage should instead be focused towards the player who's actually got suspended for multiple games for seriously injuring a player while cross-checking him violently from behind in the lower back area (Bortuzzo on Arvidsson). Arvidsson hasn't been the same player since that happened.


Worst dives I've seen personally are probably Marchand's faux double pirouettes against Washington in the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs.

 

[Elysian]

By a Stars player, probably Lindell, though I'm sure Ribeiro had some moments.

 

[Caps8112]

Anything Colin Miller did in the playoffs for the knights that first year was a dive. a stiff breeze may have gotten him that year. It was extremely frustrating to watch

 

[NyQuil]

This might count if it was during play:

 

[Oddbob]

Im sorry but this is your winner

This is the one that first came to my mind. So overdone.

 

[Oddbob]

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

Uh HUH, sure they were!

 

[Oddbob]

This is pretty bad.

This was controversial though, because 8 Judges gave it a 43/10, while one judge only gave it a 11/10.

 

[Oddbob]

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.

Nah, he really wasn't. He has always been a douche out there, and this was another classic example.

 

[Oddbob]

This should be a winning candidate.

I like how all the fans in the front row are all upset. You literally saw nothing hit him.

Don’t bother. Some people don’t understand context.

 

[TGWL]

Don’t bother. Some people don’t understand context.

Or nobody cares about the context here? "But, but, the player on my team only did it because..."

The thread isn't exactly "worst dive or flop you've seen that wasn't warranted by something earlier in the game."

 

[SwivelSchwartz]

Lindell wasn’t done flopping that series

 

[WreckingCrew]

Crosby has died SO many times

They should unless they like to look silly.

 

[Eisen]

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.

THat should have been called. What is the stick doing at Kovalev's hand?

 

[Rockomax]

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

As a Habs fan, the Ribeiro incident is the most cringe worthy hockey event that I have ever witnessed.

 

[FirstRowUpperDeck]

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

Not going to go dig up the clip, but in a regular season game against the Stars years back, Brown boarded himself and managed to get a call against the Stars. Not technically flopping and diving, and probably clever, but still against the spirit of the rules, LOL.

 

[The Red Line]

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

Post the clips then, this is the thread for it. I doubt you'll find anything nearly as shameful as that Thornton embarrassment.
