You do realize Garland does the same thing as Ehlers right? I have not watched a game against the Cats in Halifax where he has not tried to sell a call at least once. Does it disgust you when he does it as well? Ehlers is not an angel by any stretch, but the refs in this league are just so damn inconsistent it makes it hard for skilled players to know when they've been fouled and when they haven't. Sometimes I guess they feel the need to try to take it into their own hands. If the refs would call the obvious penalties instead of "letting them play" there would be far less embellishment. I didn't see the play you guys are referring to though. Why did it go from a 2 min to a 4? Was there blood? The 4 min penalty appears to be some sort of new cop out the refs are using to avoid giving 5 and a game for the playoffs. That was the second game in a row we've seen that call made. 44.3 Double Minor If a minor penalty for checking from behind is being assessed and on the play the opponent clearly turned at the last moment and as a result was injured from the check, a double minor penalty shall be assessed.

I don't care what team a player is on...diving is making the game a joke. I think that games should be looked at after they are complete and any 110% flop should be subject to suspension. That may not be very many that are definite...but I am thinking if the ones where a stick comes up and misses a player and he goes down like he took a sledgehammer to the face. Those players should be suspended with their coach for damaging the integrity of the game. Maybe then players would skate through some contact or take a whack to the legs without acting like they were assaulted. It's just bad for the game.

You mean ehlers wasn't shot by an arena sniper? I thought that's what happened He laid there for 3 to 5 minutes before leaving for the ICU at Moncton hospital. Then in a flash next whistle he whipped the cape off and never missed a shift. I so wanna like the guy because he has great talent. But that just a ruins it for me. The guy is becoming a joke!!! Garland takes 3 times the abuse and I have never seen him lie on the ice after.

Ok the facts are he laid there trying to draw a 5 minute major. Limped off the ice and returned within seconds. That better? As don cherry would say. Typical euro

Typical euro Well u must admit that any of these hockey players can take the abuse more than the average schmuck...but how long should he lay there? Is it appropriate to be exoected to get right back up when you get an unexpected hit? from behind? and crash to the ice. Isn't any player going to be stunned for a second or a few until they get their bearings and make sure they can still move their extremeties. I think most players want to be sure they are not injured first. It would hurt. Wouldn't it? you are more really upset that he came back and more specifically before the first part of the Johnson penalty had expired...not that he stayed down while he got his wind back.

No not at all. I'm not saying he wasn't pushed into boards or that Moncton player didn't deserve a penalty. I have seen a lot worse and player gets up and makes it to the bench. Not lay there like ehlers has and does. Only to come right back out. Penalties are part of the game what ehlers did is nothing short of faking. My opinion

Sorry for the poor quality, I downloaded a free screen recorder to capture this.
I'm obviously biased but to me I see Ehlers making a quick turn and it catches Johnson off guard and he actually loses his footing before making contact with Ehlers. Safe to say, Ehlers didn't look like someone who would be back on the ice shortly after but no one was really surprised. The reputation doesn't lie.

My opinion Almost every time a player crashes into the boards head first or violently, they lie there for a bit while the trainer often comes out. This isnt a new thing...neither is player realizing he is ok and continuing to play.

As a outside fan to these two clubs. I am not a fan of either one but Ehlers is the biggest drama queen I have ever seen play the game. I'm no fan of Garlamd but at least the little shit does not lay like he's been crippled. He does a lot of things that irritate me but I've never seen him embellish that much against the Islanders anyway. Don't get me started on the dirtbag Bent he should not Benin the league. Anyway hopefully the better team wins this series as I really don't care who wins it. Because it's looking like my te is done. Ehlers has so many great tools but he better chamge his diving before it hirts h in the long run.

Safe to say, Ehlers didn't look like someone who would be back on the ice shortly after but no one was really surprised. The reputation doesn't lie. He followed him towards the boards, and gave him a shove that MIGHT have worse if Ehlers didnt turn slightly. Its a dangerous play regardless of how hurt Ehlers was at the time. It could have been a stretcher situation. If someone did that to Garland you wouldnt be brushing it off and complaining about Garland.

Typical euro Hmm... having trouble with the facts again I see. But he did miss a shift. Because the Moosehead trainer came out on the ice, he had to go off. He skated very slowly to the bench ... went directly to the dressing room behind the Moose bench (which I expect is the "quiet room"). He was in there about three minutes (real time ... not score clock time) Which is it? You grossly exaggerating..... or are you saying Steve is incorrect or lying in his post? I'm seeing a lot of butthurt here. May be time to visit a proctologist.

If he makes it to the show and men start hitting him he will spend more time lying on the ice cleaning the ice than the zamboni
