The Penguins-Flyers rivalry is one of the great ones in the NHL. They're separated by about five hours of turnpike, the fans don't like like each other, and the players don't like each other. Penguins fans hate Scott Hartnell, Flyers fans hate everybody, sometimes even themselves, and especially Martin Biron. Whenever the two teams meet in Philadelphia, Penguins captain Sidney Crosby is booed relentlessly every time he touches the puck. The popular consensus among Flyers faithful is that Crosby is, among other things, a whiner, a diver, and, according to their well-timed chants during stoppages in play, a person that sucks at his profession. On Saturday, there were more diving allegations being thrown around, only this time they were being tossed in the direction of the Broad Street Bullies.
With the Penguins on a 5-on-3 advantage in the first period, Jordan Staal was sent to the penalty box for tripping Philadelphia forward, and master of the shorthanded goal, Mike Richards. As you can see in this video, Penguins color commentator Bob Errey wasn't exactly thrilled with the call.
"Nice job, Greg Louganis." That's going to leave a mark.
My opinion? Staal clearly trips Richards with his stick, which is followed by Richards clearly taking another step and belly flopping on the ice. Now, the question becomes: was he embellishing the play? Or was he attempting to dive for the loose puck in an effort to knock it out of the zone? Only Mike Richards knows the answer to that question, but if the answer is the latter, he might need to use Willie Mitchell's 80-inch stick next time.
Oh how I love this rivalry.
