Hard to beleive but the old Dive of the Game thread is still getting hits! This one is for the Toronto game sunday night. Blackout bloody blackout.
Tucker had a couple of grand dives but the ref did'nt bite and he ingored the lame-ass dive penalty and rightly so. Kilger exaggerated Scuds trip but it was going to be called a trip anyways. I would have liked to have seen the so-called dive rule called there but naturally they did'nt because Toronto is trying to make the playoffs. We can't have that. Why oh why won't they just get rid of that rule because it so lame that the refs are too embarrassed to call it because it could be called 6 times a game! Bettman is a disgrace.
Anyways this games Floppa Award has to go to Koltsov. This may be his 30th succussful dive of the season and it was typical Koltsov. Late in the 1st period the puck was being moved out but the edgy Koltsov was in front of the net and looking to skate out past McCabe. McCabe was entitled to the ice he was standing in and he had every right to stick a mit out there in Kolts face. Koltsov, being a quiet hard working sort, lost his edge and flailed to the ice. He got his team a power play out of nothing.
Great work Koltsov!!
VIVA LE REVOLUTION!!!
