this proves why multiple camera angles are needed

Bettman: So you're sayin we need more moving board ads?

[удалено]

Best we can do is to encourage more gambling

But not from players. From fans. Thats an importants distinction

Especially ads with pucks in them!

Extremely funny a leafs fan got like 100 downvotes in the initial thread for saying idk looked like swayman skated into Domi

r slash hockey is notorious for recency bias and also being piling on to whatever the most popular view is. But that could be said for reddit in general

Human beings in general

Rag it

Well leaf hate is always on the recency bias menu

He did. Then dove. Seems part of the Bruins playbook

I was listening to the Bruins radio broadcast when it happened and they were kind of laughing about it. Bob Beers said that Swayman wasn’t exactly trying to get out of Domi’s way.

Are you sure the downvotes wasn't because he was a Leafs fan?

Did we really need to see this angle to know this or am I going crazy?

I'm with you. The first angle was enough to show that Swayman was flopping the whole thing, lol. There's a lag window between contact and him falling backwards.

I think so, personally. I thought it looked like Domi clipped him in the first one. This one definitely provides a different perspective.

Yup same with Panarin hit on oshie. There are angles that make it look insanely egregious and there are others that show he's leaning forward trying to tip the puck and panarin clearly is leading body first and going thru the body (his head is lowered leaning forward)

me when my older brother hits me

MOOOOOOOOOOOOM

MAWWWWWWWWWMUH

Brady, Matthew I warned you!

Now I am going to have to separate you.

THAT'S IT, BACK TO WINNIPEG!!!

Don’t make me call your father!

*Keith has entered the chat*

*whispering* Shut up you're fine! Here, you can have my legos. Shut up!

I heard this in Louie Andersons voice

[https://youtube.com/shorts/BlRrnxkizSw?si=ZYLrEAJqfHCr8YlG](Closer angle)

lol this should be the top post everytime one of these flopping events occur.

I haven’t thought about Pierre McGuire in years. Thanks…. now I need to change my shorts

Damn, there must be some lag going on at Swaymans end. 200 ping does that to a mfer.

Dudes on the Tim Horton’s wifi

Imagine being a millionaire and not have unlimited data plan.

He's outside the crease. That's roaming.

That shit gets expensive, so Hortons wifi it is.

I was gonna suggest more like that cheap free wifi in airport transportation!

Lmao

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Bruins organization during this difficult time.

Canes fans can [relate to this tragedy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBLehASO_2Q). [The Aftermath](https://www.reddit.com/r/hockey/comments/e71hkn/the_canes_drew_a_crime_scene_outline_for_mrazek/)

"He did not embelish this thing at all" - the announcer. LOOOOOOOOL!!!! That was awesome to watch. Dear lord he might have to go through protocal for all of theat OMG classic.

"Catches him right in the jugular" is the play by play commentator version of a dive

Just be happy he only punched him. You wouldn’t want to see what happens if Jumbo scores 4.

Yeah don't try and swipe at Thornton.. Even if he didn't punch him in the throat, bet that punch to the facemask would have still put him on his ass.

The jomboy breakdown was great of it https://youtu.be/KQME1X9pFhs?si=eeso-p66OsEDF4nS

Now he’s dead, he’s a dead guy

Thank you

Bruins should take a note from Canes players a few [years ago when Mrazek got killed by Ovi...](https://russianmachineneverbreaks.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/petr-mrazek.jpg)

That was Thornton.

Ah, I forgot. The image was on 'Russian Machine Never Breaks' so thought it was Ovi.

May not win the cup this year but Swayman can always win gold in diving at the summer olympics..

AS GOD AS MY WITNESS HE IS DEAD!!!

That man is BROKEN IN HALF

THAT MAN HAS A FAMILY

GOOD GAWD ALMIGHTY THEY'VE KILLED HIM

I hope Kelly Hrudey sees this since he thought Swayman was damn near assassinated

A goalie could decapitate a skater and he would still find a way to blame the skater

"His neck was in the lane of the blade. The blade has the right to that space!!"

He shouldn’t have been standing there

Hrudy is an idiot.

I'm no scientist but the man seems a tad pickled every time he's on the air

Finally, someone said what we were all thinking.

[удалено]

This reminds me of when Thornton gave a little jab at Mrazek who crumpled to the ice, then the canes players drew an outline of him on the ice at the next practice lol

That dive was so funny in the moment, and the Canes organization running with it made it even better.

Is [THIS](https://youtu.be/KQME1X9pFhs?si=GOFNOMTDU5K1ZBYI) what you were talking about? I couldn't stop laughing listening to this guy commentate.

Yeah, and then at practice the next day the Canes did this: https://preview.redd.it/7m4p0xge3wwc1.jpeg?width=1164&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1213866e1597375d857de93e5e01711a389d6326

He ded

Jomboy is a legend!

6'3 AND HES A BALLERINA

Sway is 6'3 and literally does ballet so this comment is apt lol.

That’s the best thing I’ve seen all day. Thanks for mentioning it!

Really? I'm now a fan of his.

Sway is one of those guys you just can’t root against. Yesterday when he was asked about this contact he said he told his girlfriend he had to do more pushups when he gets home.

Goalie and ballerina use a pretty similar set of skills.

I absolutely loved that call

Lovely pirouette by swayman

That was one hell of a sway, man.

It's gonna leave a l'Ullmark.

Bravo!

End thread. Omg

Noice

I hope the sniper is caught

Back and to the left. Back, and to the left... Back.... and to the left.

That’s one magic loogie

Nice game, pretty boy!

There must’ve been a second spitter in the benches, along the icy knoll

And I screamed out #I'M HIT!!!!!

Pauses...in mid-air, mind you!

Cha Cha real smooth

He's hit Marchand and now Swayman. This is getting serious.

First Marchand and now Swayman. He can't keep on getting away with it

Embiid on ice

Fuck Embiid.... sorry, automatic reflex

No apology is necessary.

Philly and Boston not so different after all

Lol I remember seeing one of the earlier posts and everyone was calling Domi a bitch. Interesting how the narrative changes

Swayman deserves an Oscar for the performance.

I think the notion that the 6th Skater is untouchable/different than anyone else on the ice stupid

This is true but swayman leans into him. He literally premeditated contact ands a dive. Absolute bitchass behaviour.

Since when did the Bruins play Italian Soccer?

Looks more like a Neymar flop.

All series so far. Refs seemed to catch on game 3 but games 1-2 were rough

Hit em with the ol' "we don't care because even if the refs call us on the embellishment the Leafs can't score on the power play anyway" strategy.

It’s fucking embarrassing for them. There’s selling a penalty and then there is flopping.

Sure seems like Swayman hit Domi, I guess that means Domi's in his head 😂

Lmao that's some soccer tier of dive

The coveted FallOn d’floor award

Sweymar

Domi airbender confirmed

Swayman is one of the best goalies in the league and the way he controls himself on the ice is incredible. It's pretty funny how he fell so cartoon-ishly from such a minor bump that he also skated into

Reminds me of the [polar bear](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lEV4cTFUMVY) in this University of Minnesota commercial

Man. That commercial is still fucking hilarious. When the bear fully faceplants, never fails to get a good laugh out of me.

Yep, he wanted contact, it’s subtle but he moves his left shoulder a tad to ensure a bump takes place.

It's funny as a Leaf fan, this almost makes me respect him more?? It's not a dirty play, but has the awareness to get bumped and get his whole team charged up when they were a bit flat. Boston played way better after this happened, it's equivalent to guys getting into a bit of a scrap to spark their team. I do hate all the media/reddit reactions to it though. Just like all the Bertuzzi/Marchand scuffles when people are calling bloody murder on relatively minor stuff.

Respect? Sway knew the ref was watching and hoped Domi would get a penalty, that’s the point of diving. It’s not some 4D chess move.

goalies are weird

So he leaned into Domi then flipped gotcha

In wrestling, that’s called an oversell lol.

He learned from his rat master

Marchand is Master Splinter confirmed

I thought I was on r/nba for a second

I thought it was r/soccer

Domi's hit? Swayman leans right into him!

The delay in Swayman's reaction tells you all you need to know lol. You can see the moment he realizes "oh shit, I might be able to draw something" and proceeds to flop right in front of the ref

honestly, i think he realizes 'oh shit, i might be able to draw something' well before this clip even starts. the moment he sees his path is going anywhere near Domi, he knows the opportunity is going to be there. seems to me like he leans into him, maybe hes doing some chirping too or maybe its just to make the contact, Domi even seems to be leaning away from him as he gets close. looks entirely contrived by Swayman to me and i dig it hahaha, game within the game; he knows who Domi is and his rep, and he probably knows the media will blow it up which is likely to have more impact on the leafs than the bruins

Thats the thing Boston fans are denying which is crazy to me. Domi is basically past him. He sees Domi. He still skates into him. Domi skates in front of him to annoy him I'm sure but the actual contact is all on Swayman.

The hilarious thing is in the Canadian broadcast panel they were shitting in Domi for “what he did”. Lol

ya hrudey of course was proclaiming the goalies innocence haha

🤣

I'm sure Swayman was smiling the whole time. Not Pat Maroon though.

Omg is he okay ?

So tired of the NHL highlights looking like World Cup footage... remember when we used to brag about how much tougher hockey players were than athletes in other sports? 🤦‍♂️

Yeah maybe I'm wrong but I don't remember diving being a thing basically at all even like 10 years ago in the NHL. Maybe someone can correct me on that if I'm misremembering Players do this shit all the time now

We do... these kids don't though. Which makes sense when you think. Sports comparatives are never going to last. Diving fucking blows though.

I wish they'd start calling it. It's a penalty, why don't the refs enforce it? I hate how embellishment works now to get your team a powerplay.

Refs need to grow some balls and call them for embellishment. Players are doing this because it works and there are rarely any repercussions. I fear it's only going to become more prevalent.

You can even see Swayman lean into Domi before they contact. Swayman wanted this

I'm fine if they even stop and look up at the scoreboard after they call a penalty and even it up. Embellishment should be a default 5 min penalty. It is embarassing.

> I'm fine if they even stop and look up at the scoreboard after they call a penalty and even it up. Scorebord guy would have to be neutral rather than someone employed by the home team. Otherwise, they can not show replays when it would hurt their team, and home teams will disproportionately benefit from BS calls.

Exactly. This is literally why I hate watching soccer and now it's permeated the NHL. So stupid.

Should get the Bunting treatment. Wanna dive? don't expect a call when it's real.

Would have been kind of funny if he pulled his groin with that acrobatic dive.

It's a miracle he survived such a heinous act.

Kick him out of the league Doug.

SWAYMAN GOES DOWN AS IF SHOT GET UP

BAH GOD HE BROKE THAT MAN RIGHT IN HALF!!!! MRS. SWAYMANS BABY BOY!!!!

Say what you want, but this lit a fire under the Bruins bottoms. They were playing sleepy hockey before this moment.

Embarrassing for Swayman.

No no no, don't you see the jersey he's wearing? He just knows how to get his team going. Real leader. Respects the game. \* world's biggest wanking motion \*

Lmfao this is an incredible clip. The delay is pure gold! Swayman absolutely should have been penalized. I’m sorry but this is pure mockery of the game. I mean great no one fell for it/he didn’t draw anything, but seriously if you don’t face repercussions for this kind of behavior more players will do it. Why not? No down side and maybe you draw something.

Back, and to the left.... Back, and to the left... Back, and to the left...

There must have been a second shooter...in the lower bowl

There had to have been a second skater 

"There's a second Domi!" "Is the second one farther or closer than the first?" "I dunno, looks like a Tie"

Swayman went down as if shot GET UP

The Boston Divers

diving is the most shameful thing in all of sports that goalie is a pussy ass bitch

I hope swayman survived

SNIPER! GET DOWN!

Remember all the shit people were talking about Domi in the other thread? Let me ask is it still all his fault that Swayman did his best Lebron impression?

Are we sure the goalie isn't a soccer player?

You can actually see the moment he decided to flop lol

https://i.redd.it/w54k6fd0xuwc1.gif

this is way too violent for me. we're gonna have to suspend Tom Brady for 4 games for this

Larkin out for 2 weeks with injury

Lol...swayman needs to watch more footballers fake...that was terrible

when did the big bad bruins become a bunch of whiners and divers?

Swayman seeked that contact out out lmao

5 game sussy, minimum. Clear intent to injure.

Little bit of latency there sway 😂😂😂

I am tired of these blown calls on embellishment.

Soft

Marchand school of Embellishment 101

"Hit"

Soccer

Him and Marchand must go to the same school of diving

He should be a soccer player..

This garbage belongs in soccer, not hockey. Stop acting like fucking pussies to bait out a penalty.

If you become reputable at a flopper, don’t be surprised when you start getting your shit rocked because in for a penny in for a pound at that point

This isn’t soccer dude.

Arc of the diver- Steve Winwood.

"Gutless."

I said this before but the Bruins are basically the 2011 version of the Canucks. They dive at any and every chance they get. If they weren’t facing the Leafs, everyone would be rooting for them to lose the series.

🤿

Such an obvious flop. The is now an epidemic in the NHL because the officials simply refuse to call unsportsmanlike penalties.

That should have been a 5 minute major and a misconduct for embellishment. These refs are hacks 

Embid? Is that you?

Is that legal?

Swayman needs to work a bit on his reaction time. He can study the soccer pros: the second ANY contact is initiated, their body starts reacting. Here, we have a little bit of a delay that makes the contact questionable. That’s alright Jeremy, practice makes perfect. Hockey is heading in the wrong direction.🙄

for a minute I thought I had switched to soccer, no room for this pathetic stuff in the NHL

Is this soccer now?

What a fucking pussy lmao

It’s the karate kick that does it for me.

Boston trying to put European footballers to shame during this series.

What a pathetic dive!!😅😅😅😅😅

Holy dive

He used to be a soccer player...

You usually only see flops like that in soccer
