This isn't new, the Canucks have been talking about this for a couple seasons.

Biggest problem is since they cut down on complaining to officials and dives the # of PP's has dropped drastically.

Should Kesler be penalized for embellishment? Sure. But no one ever missed a game because someone took a high stick and threw his head back and flopped on the ice. This well could have. Re-do this same sequence ten times and you'll probably see two or three head injuries. It's a risky situation.

I know people just want to think the worst about the Canucks, and they're right because he did flop on the ice afterwards. But letting Nielsen off the hook because of a pre-existing narrative like "Kesler's a diving flopper" is lazy and irresponsible.


:40 through :59. Three angles that show it, especially the last one. It's not very hard, but he pretty clearly hits him in the head with his shoulder.
I can kind of understand what you are saying here, but I have seen Kesler also put himself in dangerous positions and then throw himself like he's been killed.

Something has to be done about Kesler and his horrible acting/embellishing.

This is a start.

Well yeah. Kind of like when a criminal stops robbing banks and all of a sudden his income drops drastically.
