I’m sure, by now, you all know what I hate most of all in the NHL. It is diving/embellishment/classlessness. Jon Sim certainly did a great job there tonight. Did you see the penalty he drew? Almost marginal contact there, he throws his head back like he caught an elbow to the face, then looked like he was going to die, then looked over to the ref, saw his hand up, and suddenly all the faux pain was gone.
I hate that, I hate it when Avery does it, I hate it when ANYBODY does it. Dont embellish, it cheapens the game.
On the plus side, we didnt blow the lead at 2-0, just 1-0. It’s ok though, I thought we played a very spirited game, the youth influx has certainly helped that. These kids dont stop skating. By the way, I’m one of those, keep Dubinsky in the minors till he’s ready kinda guy, but boy oh boy, this kid is going to be something special. He throws players aside like they are rag dolls, then skates with VERY powerful strides. Once he learns to play within his own body, hes going to be a legitimate force. I’m thinking Simon Gagnesque.
