And what is Kelly Hrudey doing calling this a "good play" by Smith diving. Kelly, it's called cheating, and just because he got away with it, that doesn't make it a "good play" or right - kids are watching these games, we want them to play honest hockey, and I know the NHL is "big business" and "we'll do everything to win" - but where do you draw the line, where are your morals, cheating is cheating and it shouldn't be praised as a "good play" regardless of the outcome.

Kelly doesn't have a problem with cheating, he cheated in 1990 when Gilmour scored on him in OT.
