but I feel that you're just defending him because you like him.

That is such a fucking cop out. I'm just as objective about our own players as I am the opposition.

Because you entertained that possibility, it's set a precedent for something I'm not willing to further engage you in.

Why would he wobble like that if he was going for a dive?

Exactly. You know how disheartening it feels, and how much pride hurts, when you fall on the ice while looking stupid while doing it?

When someone dives, they do it like they've just been shot at Gallipoli.

 

[Calamari41]

because he was pretending to be interfered with

then he jumped like a damn dolphin

Hey I'm not saying I have access to what was going through his mind at that moment. I just agree with Dastardly and know what it looks like when someone finds that their center of gravity is suddenly no longer located over their feet. I've been there myself, and it looks like that.

Dives usually look fake, and that looked real to me. That's all.

I would put some decent money down right now that Patches will be the Habs new captain in 2015. His presence over the past two weeks has just confirmed himself as the de facto leader on this team, and even management continues to bring it up. As much as I wanted Subban to get it, it's probably better if he doesn't have that added responsibility along with everything else.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Personally, I can't wait until Nonis trades Kadri and another one of our second rounders for a 3rd line plug like Lee Stempniak

I feel with the new people in our org. they would stop this and I don't think Shanaplans would just trust NOnis.

Any know if nhl15 is a big difference/improvement over nhl14? I'm getting one for my little brother and I vaguely remember him saying they removed something in 15? Last one I played was nhl10.

If you don't play in the EASHL, then it's pretty great.

I like Getzlaf, too. But it looked like a blatant dive to me.

 

[Sanjuro]

Svedberg and Krejci for tonight!

WOOO!

 

[zroid]

26 minutes in, the Sens have only had 4 shots on goal...

Blatant dive:

Dat new coaching.

 

[Sanjuro]

A goal! My lord, did that look desperate.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Getzlaf's Bambi moment reminded me of this:

 

[Sanjuro]

It begins.

I hope you're right

Its because Philips is back in the lineup.

He threw himself at the ground like he just got off a year round cruise. There are better hills to die on than this.

I agree that there are better hills for Leafs-age to die on

The salt when teams get beat by the Leafs is unbelievable, and long lasting.

take a look at the footage in slow motion

he kicks up his left leg after contact... but he still has full control of his right skate

now what happens next is the dead giveaway

he stops his left leg (no further movement), pumps his right knee, then you see him launch.

Why would he wobble like that if he was going for a dive?

Perhaps he hit something on the ice? But it looked like a dive to me. The way his legs flailed up so high looked ridiculous.

Perhaps his right skate hit something on the ice is all that I can see explaining it not being a dive. I'm not doubting he fell, I'm just saying that he embellished it for dramatic effect.

 

[Silexx]

Craig Anderson doesn't believe in tanking.

nope. a rut would have caused no increasing verticality

Snes going to draft Daigle 2.0

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

Are the pens having orgies in their lockeroom or something.

 

[lamaroo]

Where do you see that he's jumping?

Unless the video is different than the gif I'm watching. Looks like he lost balance, tried to regain it, realised he couldn't, so he took the weight off his supporting leg and fell.

I don't think it's a dive in the traditional sense.

keep pausing/playing at 0:05 and keep very close eye on right leg

 

[Coldnoodle]

Let's get Melnyk's forensics team on the job.

 

[Calamari41]

Back and to the left... Back and to the left...

I agree that I only just learned the phrase "better hills to die on" and now I can't stop thinking about all those awesome King Of The Hill matches in Quake 3 I've had in my life.

From Dopeystats to Dopeyphysics. We're going to strange new and exciting places, people.

 

[FUBAR McDangles]

Right now I'm watching the 30 for 30 on John Spano/New York Islanders.

I had no idea about any of this. This is insane.

 

[trifelife]

lol divegate is still raging on, huh. ¯_(&#12484_/¯

My body is ready for Canucks

Spoiler

losing

hockey, this schedule is the worst.

Eddie starting. If I could make a Birdman brrr sound but a stork instead, I'd do it right now.

While your team is in the fight of their lives...

I'm still shocked the Islanders story hasn't been turned into a screenplay. Guess hockey really isn't that marketable!

Forgot about the game tbh. I will turn it on after the intermission.

GIF looks like he just fell though the video looks like he jumps up a bit for effect. I suppose the truth is somewhere in the middle.

OCD, we won the game, I wouldn't be arguing about one call.

A call that put Getzie in the box, at that.

Leafs record against teams...

above .500: 14-3-2

at .500: 0-2-0

below .500: 5-4-1

The Leafs are an enigma wrapped in a riddle

 

[Coldnoodle]

 

[Dastardly Jerks]

Everybody do me a favour.

Lift one leg up around 80 degrees, lean forward, and then push off on your remaining foot.

Now do that on ice w/ skates, from static position, in under a second.

If you didn't fall over, you're a liar.

and then you're halfway to earning a degree in the getzlaf school of olympic diving
