NHL "Faking An Injury" Moments

NHL "Faking An Injury" Moments! Players trying to draw a penalty by pretending to be hurt!

[@nickfenton2334]

Let's be honest, though. This is relatively rare in hockey, especially when you compare it to, say, soccer.

[@thatoneguy9666]

Or basketball

[@Gantzz321]

you cannot compare a SPORT to a jog in the park

[@cbcreate8984]

It's pretty much because you can get a penalty for doing this. Soccer would be a completely different sport if "embellishment" existed.

[@Luke.1878]

@unionempirex LOL, omg both of them are so hurt, they might not be able to play the 2nd half. - Hockey player with both knees destroy, fused, spin, a dozen missing teeth... and still plays gentlemen league at 55.

I do have a goalie one with a bunch of Smith in already! kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKS5fYSHjJhsm5I

Maxim Lapierre did a fair amount of embellishing in his career and this is coming for an habs fan

[@JSeriously]

I hate divers. Have some respect for the game and have some respect as an adult. Inexcusable. Also, terrible by the refs. If you don’t actually see it, don’t make the call based on the player’s reaction.

What a great way to instantly lose all respect for a lot of players. I've got no tolerance for this, leave it to the soccer players.

[@MyTwoStamps]

When someone fakes an injury when I replay clearly shows they weren't even touched it should be an automatic 20 game suspension. It would stop this shit real fast.

[@videogamenoob100]

They don't even do that for blatant cheap shots, maybe only a couple game suspension

Shoutout to the Blackhawks announcers for calling out their own player's embellishment

[@letigidou8660]

I don't think Kovalev was faking an injury. He got stung and was a bit weak willed in the moment.

[@agent56100]

Let’s be real, Hasek was the most believable one here. If anything, the melodrama he gave it added to the authenticity. I think if he waited like a quarter of a second longer to fall and didn’t get up as quickly, no one would have known

[@erintheangry]

Those skates have absolutely 0 padding around the ankle area. That slash on Thornton I think was real. Looked like he got hit on the ankle and that would kill especially if your weight is already on it. Only one I am iffy about on this list. The leverage on those sticks is more than it looks like.

[@HarryRiceHockey]

Still can't see how Kovalev's was a faking an injury moment. He gets chopped in the back clearly and goes down, that shit hurts so I wouldn't put it past him that time. 2nd one obviously yeah that was a fake, but first one honestly should have been suspension worthy and the fact the refs call nothing there is a joke and shows how good modern hockey is compared to the shit we got in the 90s lol

It is referred to as the crosby

Marchand being a pos even at the all star game is just as Marchand as even Marchand can be xb

[@Kayametra]

Marchands a rat but it’s pretty clear he was doing it as a joke. None of the players take the all-star game seriously so I doubt any of them cared.

[@mitchellquinton7634]

See, at least for hockey the compilation is under 6 minutes, but you could have a 6 hour compilation with other sports (sorry soccer and basketball 🤫)

[@aspirindamage5152]

this is such a short compilation, imagine soccer, baseball, literally any other sports length off they did this!

[@Awwscrewit]

There's a great one from 2003, Leafs/Senators 1st game of the season. Late in the 3rd Corson accidentally taps Chara with his stick and Zdeno drops like he was shot.

[@Gantzz321]

there needs to be off ice reviews with a 5 game suspension if found to be faking if the ref's didn't make the call on ice

[@WillDelill-tk4td]

They embellish because a lot of referees fall for it. The embellishment penalty has helped but refs rarely call it by itself, almost always 2 players get penalties.

Sometimes having a stick come up near your face makes you have a reactionary response that takes few seconds to me sure that you didn’t just get cut up

[@maekoh]

No doubt a lot of these are blatantly faking, but flinching during a high stick is just a natural reaction to something coming that close to your face. I've had this happen numerous times while playing hockey where the stick never touches you but you still feel something hit your face, so naturally you flinch and reach for your mouth/nose. But I mean, not every player is gonna pull a Voracek and tell the ref after he see's the replay.

[@Capt_Chaos_91]

This is why I think penalty calls should be reviewable by the penalized team. If overturned the team originally penalized should get a 5 min power play. Sure would discourage embellishment a lot more…

[@beaver_warrior]

That wouldn't slow the game down at all 🙄

[@trevorallen182]

Marchand may not of slashed the goalie, but still why tf would you hit the goalie w your stick in the first place

[@beaver_warrior]

Plus it's Marchand. Goalie's just giving him a taste of his own medicine. Nothing wrong with that.

[@jimedge8301]

This just shows how the referees are a problem, calling shit they don't see.
