The entire game was terrible the refs called nothing on Minnesota…I’m just gonna ignore this series my drive to smoke is raising I’ll just wait for Vegas to sweep Minnesota
I don’t think it’s a dive. I was watching the game and freaked out, no offense to Dubnyk I love ya bud, but I was like “Oh shit please no we need you Stalock”. And a couple minutes after the penalty, I would watch Stalock after he took the puck and passed it to the dman, then I’d watch him flex his leg. He did it a few times, and I kept thinking “Man it did look a little like a dive but why would you continue flexing even several minutes after it happened?”
This was a dive he felt the hit and sold it, all i can think was he hit him in the pad How,the edler trip on danato was emblishment also he felt the stick between his legs so he falls to the ground then he did a lil spin while going down,then when ferland poked Hartman in the stomach area on the bench he crumpled like he got shot and was bleeding out.please tell me I'm not the only one who seen this shit,mind you all the calls they missed on Minnesota.
When I play in net, I have some padding on the sides of my legs, but the back of my ankle, calf and thigh has zero padding. A stick or puck hitting me there would really hurt.
it's one of the calls I would agree with the penalty being called and the embellishment also being called there was definitely a slash but the goalie over sold it I think
I'm going to throw out the possibility that he jumped in surprise, then his skate slipped and he landed weird and hurt himself…or was channeling his inner soccer player.

Opinion time….. Dive or no dive?

Vancouver is getting first rounded
Dubnyk dove more than Stalock
I wonder if it was a bit of a slash, but then Stalock lost his footing
hope the canucks shoot holes in him in game 2

That’s my thought on it
penalty..damn
Has equipment that protects against thirty 100mph shots each game, but gets hurt from a slash of a stick thy weighs less than a pound. Hmmm
Nope. No dive. Slash or trip. pick one.
This is just one many b.s. calls. He definitely took a dive.
Could of got the knee and buckled him. I'd give it 70/30 legit penalty
He hit is pad Stalock needs his mommy after that
I'm slightly bias as a canucks fan but I'd say he slightly embellished it, a guy full ran into marky and he didn't embellish anything
If the mrazek incident was a dive, this was an Olympic level dive
yeah but show me a goalie and ill show you someone who dives
Dubnyk taught him well.
unless hes lagging irl def a dive

Weak
Sold it enough to get the call. Little gamesmanship never hurts.
Must be completely awkward to play in a empty arena 😂 no crowds to fire you up.
still a penalty. such a dumb thing to do especially when your down by 2 goals.
Canuck fans will blame this for losing the game and the refs 😂
Imagine slashing a goalie
def a dive but boneheaded on Pearson's part. Can't really blame Stalock for taking the tumble considering how the NHL babies goalies. Easy powerplay

2 mins for slash and 2 for embellishment is probably what should've happened.
I wouldn't say he didn't dive, but I wouldn't say he did dive either, it probably did hurt and he over-exaggerated it somewhat.
Probably but for whatever reason it doesn't bother me much when the goalie sells it a little bit
that is a dive if i ever saw one

Didn’t even touch him and I’m not a Canucks fan
The ref, Kelly Sutherland actively hates Vancouver, the NHL is such a bush league for assigning him to officiate Canucks games
That's a dive
I’d assume major dive based on what I can see but I wish we had a better view
