Unfortunately Joe Micheletti’s assertion that “99% of the players in the league can’t stand that type of play” would be more accurately stated, “99% of the players in the league engage in that type of play”. The league did this to itself when it just abruptly stopped calling embellishment penalties for about 5 seasons for no apparent reason. Now it’s so out of hand that there is literally no way for officials to monitor all of the diving happening in every game.
The league could very easily review this play and should suspend Lapierre for 1 game. If he does it again, 2 game suspension etc. Of course the league definitely will not do that so this is kind of NBA, bush-league-type shit that hockey fans have to put up with.

This shows the quality of the referees in Gary Bettman’s NHL…or lack there of. I fondly remember the days when there was 1 referee and they were pretty damn good.
