Your attempt to explain away the objective data is illogical.
If diving is rarely called, then logically this applies to
all teams, not just the Canucks. Indeed, the Canucks should be under even greater scrutiny and have even less leeway in the officials' eyes, if they have the reputation you claim. Thus, their penalties should be
inflated, not under-called, relative to other teams. Yet the Canucks have no diving penalties while other teams have multiple calls. Over an 82-game schedule (i.e. a large sample size), this fact is statistically powerful and can't be explained away simply because it's inconvenient to your cherished narrative or clashes with your subjective belief.
