In the first period of Game 2, please do every hockey fan a favor and call two diving penalties. Call one each on both teams, I don't care, but please call them. Why are you letting hockey become the NBA with flopping? The rule is in the blasted book so use it! Call it twice and we'll never have to worry about it again in this series because the players will adjust.
Why are they flopping so much? Because your refs keep falling for it. Chicago's 5-on-3 last night was the direct result of two flops. So basically, players can beat the tar out of each other with slashes, cross checks and punches to the face as long as no one flops to the ice and nothing will be called. Tap someone and they fall to the ice like a wussy soccer player with a paper cut and something gets called immediately. Yeah, that makes sense.
Your officiating is a joke, and I could care less who wins. I just want to see great hockey.
So please, call it twice early and we won't have to see it again.
