“They want to get [the list] out there. They want the player to be caught, whether it’s on the ice by the referee or by us on video. They are all tired of diving. The object is to make them stop eventually and, by doing that, they can get it out there around the League, embarrass them. The referees will know it, too, so the divers don’t get the benefit of the doubt.”
-Colin Campbell on diving. More on the topic from Dan Rosen of NHL.com.

what could be considered a subjective penalty at times.
Wow….now that’s strong language.
So…did Coley also draw up the list of players immune to punishment?
Cough * Keith * Cough.

So tripping a diver is not a penalty….
Man, secret directives are always the best deterrent.

But the players’ made some solid points and it will make for a better product if the suggestions are adopted.

Well, if he dives then technically he wasn’t tripped, right?

I get what you’re saying,, but there’s an equally strong part of me that thinks you have to sleep in the bed you’ve made. If you want refs to take infractions against you seriously when they’re making that split second call, don’t give them a reason to doubt they saw what they think they saw.
I see both sides

It should be called the Kesler List.
Or if you play in the Pacific Division, “The Dustin Brown Bulletin”.

That is beautiful. I’ve been waiting a long time for diving to be addressed. Of course time will tell how consistent they are with what could be considered a subjective penalty at times.
