Kane shares his thoughts on the Evangelista dive on Instagram

  1. You can tell the Canucks were furious with that call. Hughes went over to talk to him with the “fake spear”. Evangelista just put a target on his back for players and refs.

  2. That call was even worse considering Boeser got mugged by Bunting a few seconds before that went uncalled.

  3. Even the Nashville commentars were calling out Evangelista for his behavior. Nashville fans were also calling him out. It was embarrassing on his part.

  4. I am on the absolutely hate Evander Kane and despise him as a person camp… but yeah that was a BS call and the refs are doing their best it seems this year to erode the integrity and credibility of the league.

  5. I can understand some of the “whiplash” reactions in the league. Sometimes a stick comes up in a players peripheral vision and I think the natural human reaction is move their head out of the way quickly. It’s easy as a viewer to be like “hey, you didn’t even get touched”.

    This one is completely different, he created the contact. Ducked his head towards Kane’s hand/stick. Grabbed his face and crumbled to the ice like a bitch. There is no place for that in hockey.

    Genuine question, can a player be penalized for embellishment if there is no other penalty committed? Or is it called as another penalty, like unsportsmanlike conduct?
