I guess they're just better at it, what with all the practice they get.
FWIW, I don't notice the diving so much. Whining, yeah, I notice it more, but that could be an effect of my dislike for the team, rather than a cause. I simply don't like the Canucks. If we could get past the arguing of reasons for this, and just accept that people don't like them, all (three) of the NHL threads would be more enjoyable. The posting of ridiculous articles from Sun Media (seriously, those people get paid to write this trash?) doesn't help anything.
I'm honestly so sick of talking about the Canucks right now (at least chiming in on this subject)...Isn't everybody?
