Whatever. The NHL can fine away and Johnny can keep diving as far as I'm concerned. Like it or not it's part of the game, and like cheating at faceoffs for example, players get better at it over time. Hope Johnny hones his craft. I certainly don't recall it hurting the team much thus far.
On the topic, I am glad to see the Flames getting a reputation for chippy play and rough stuff and generally being dicks to play against. Good. It's about time, and it's an identity that I'm tired of seeing only in the teams they play against.
The Flames have enough skill and structure to back it up, too. Reminds me of the Ducks teams that have haunted us for so many seasons.
