So I was in class today and over heard some bozos talking about the ROTJ one guy brought up Selanne and his friend (wearing a canucks jersey) said something about him being a diving European.
To vent I thought I would put together a nice collection of some of the best acting performances by the Canucks.
This beauty is from Ryan Kessler easily my most hated player on earth
Gotta give Lou some credit he gets a lot of air on this jump
Wow that little tap hurt so bad it took little Daniel a little longer to embelish
The latest performance by Luongo by far his best
Now this looks like it was a legit whack to the face but Luongo makes it look like he just got smashed with a sledge hammer
This is a toughone but given Kesler's history
Wow Burros that stick touching your skate sure sends you flying
Ok now before you judge Burrows too harshly on this one I think you have to remember he may have still have been really shook up from that previous one
Burrows you just cant catch a break can you?
And best actor goes to Burrows with Kesler and Luongo tied for best supporting act.

How completely biased. I would like to point out the horrible calls that were not even called for the Canucks. Or even more so, the calls that weren't called. For instance the elbow to the face, stick to the face etc etc etc etc.... when they played the blackhawks. I dont' think that the boys here should be called out on, after awhile they were trying to generate something, as we couldn't get a call if their life depended on it.

Oh and Kessler rocks... the most hated player, my vote goes to Ovi. Ugh I cannot repeat cannot stand Ryan Kesler. If you watch him you can see that he is one of the biggest divers in the NHL. Then in tonights game he scores but the Canucks are still down a goal and he skates by and taunts the Predators bench like thats not just obnoxious its stupid your still down a freaking goal for go jes go sake. Oh well I will give him credit for continuing his career after taking that light tap on the leg that sent him down to the ice in agony.

I agree 100% Selanne...they should start enforcing the diving rule and scrap the instigator rule...it would eliminate the crap from clowns like him.

Could be worse...anybody who saw the Moose game last night witnessed Nigel Dawes perform a dive that would make Olympic high divers jealous.

Well I got some dandies from the Canadiens.
I absolutely despise the Kostitsyn twins and Plekanec.

Kessler is probably the best American player in the game.... Move over Modano, Roenick and Joe Mullen... this guy is for real... so far the top candidate for the Conn Smythe, IMO

Kessler is a great hockey player but yeah he dives a lot and I hate that so much. But most players will dive every now and then, even my favorite player can embellish a little to get a call. Wheres Dan Carcillo is all of this?

TSN ran a good segment about the Canucks diving this morning, interesting fact they led the league in diving calls in the regular season. Kessler and Torres had a few terrific performances in game 1.
