Scary thing is that could work. Imagine if the coach actually told all his players to dive as much as they can and sell every call… the sole purpose of every player not named McDavid or Draisaitl is to get those two a chance on the powerplay. Period. Complete, unashamed diving non-stop. What’s the worst that will happen to them? They get a diving call and it goes to four-on-four. What’s more, how often have you seen more than one diving call in a single game? I honestly don’t know if I’ve ever seen a team called for it more than once in a game… even if they continue to dive.
The oilers have made it pretty clear they cannot win this series at 5-on-5. They’re facing elimination and their golden gooses need powerplays to have a chance. I am predicting the most unashamed spectacle of diving the NHL has ever seen from a team in game 6 of this series. It’s going to be embarrassing.
I hope it doesn’t work and we can all bask in the joy of the oilers getting eliminated on Thursday. Go Kings!
