My favorite quote from his OP is his second "reason why diving is good"
Quote:
In sports, winning is all that matters. History remembers the winners and the champions, and not so much how they got there. If diving will help you win, why wouldn't you? It certainly helped Vancouver get a bunch of powerplays and get to the Finals. In soccer, where goals are extremely difficult to come by, drawing a Penalty Kick is HUGE. That's just plain smart to me.
