You have not presented any facts to deny, which is strange since hockey keeps objective statistics. If your beliefs regarding the Canucks and diving were factual rather than a rationalization for your all-consuming hatred, then it would be easy for you to show that the Canucks receive more diving/embellishment penalties under rule 64.1 than any other team.
Why haven't you done this then? Because, unfortunately for you, your hatred has nothing to do with the actual facts: the Canucks received just one diving penalty more than the Bruins during last year's playoffs and didn't receive a single diving penalty this entire season:

By contrast, the worst offenders under rule 64.1 were:
Washington - 4
NY Islanders - 3
Dallas - 3
Minnesota - 3
NY Rangers - 2
Winnipeg - 2
St. Louis - 2
Pittsburgh - 2
Nashville - 2
Ottawa - 1
Calgary - 1
Boston - 1
Chicago - 1
As I said before, your obsession with the Canucks is unhealthy and has forced you into a war with reality which you cannot win. Let it go. Focus on other things in your life.
