The Capitals beat the Senators last night 5-3. This is Ottawa Senators Player Chris Neil taking a stick to the midsection by Alex Ovechkin. Or was it. Ovechkin was simply skating down the ice to catch up with the play. The stick barely looks like it touches Neil and you can see Neil look to his left to see where the referee is before he goes down to the ice. Neil was eventually awarded a two minute penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct (or flopping). Judge for yourself, but I'm saying he took a dive.
P.S. If diving starts to become an everyday thing in Hockey we are all doomed.
