b3. Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Quote NEW YORK -- Vancouver Canucks forward Jannik Hansen has been fined $2,000 as supplementary discipline under NHL Rule 64 (Diving/Embellishment), the National Hockey League announced today. NHL Rule 64 is designed to bring attention to and more seriously penalize players (and teams) who repeatedly dive and embellish in an attempt to draw penalties. Fines are assessed to players and head coaches on a graduated scale outlined below: Citations are issued by the National Hockey League Hockey Operations Department, which tracks all games, logs all penalties for diving or embellishment and flags all plays not called on the ice that in its opinion were deserving of such a penalty. A Citation is issued once Hockey Operations, through its internal deliberations, is convinced that a player warrants sanction. Hansen was issued a Warning following an incident flagged by NHL Hockey Operations during NHL Game No. 183 against Pittsburgh on Nov. 4. His second Citation, which triggered the $2,000 fine, was issued for an incident at 10:15 of the third period during NHL Game No. 510 at Tampa Bay on Dec. 22. Hansen was assessed a minor penalty for embellishment while Tampa Bay defenseman Nikita Nesterov received an interference minor on the play. The money goes to the Players' Emergency Assistance Fund. http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=795136 I guess that's what happens when you're consistently the teams hardest worker.

khay Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 LOL. I'm not even going to bother to say anything about league decisions from now on. Waste of breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Wait this doesn't make sense. As per Marchands dirty clipping suspension, Hansen should be receiving LESS punishment. Isn't that how the DPS is working these days? Less punishment for continued faults? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hatedkid666 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Later today we'll find out that Henrik is getting suspended for getting hit in the head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Not even surprising. Heck the Sedins as great as they are still get no respect from the refs, as Hank still gets numerous phantom calls against him. Hopefully Aquilini pays this petty fine for Hansen and thanks him for playing hard this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanTSN Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 I thought this was a joke or a fake thread. So McNabb gets nothing and Hansen gets slapped with this? I guess this is good for business if you want the Canucks fans go all super saiyan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mackcanuck Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Penalties in that game were 13 against the Canucks and 3 against the Lightning It is the Refs that should be getting a $2000 fine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M A K A V E L I 96 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Hasen should've elbowed the Tampa player in the head instead. No penalty on the play and no fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Its literally the rules. If you're booked twice for diving you get a fine the 2nd time. Any player would receive the fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 How can you retroactively fine someone that happened two games after that, yet give no suspensions OR fine to McNabb for his elbow that contravenes against their head contact policies? What a &^@#in' joke. Hansen also got suspended for accidentally elbowing Hossa. He was simply jumping to reach for the puck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, sorry but what?! http://nhl.nbcsports.com/2015/12/31/video-canucks-hansen-fined-for-diving/ ...so that is a dive to you and not a hard working play where Hansen was unbalanced battling/forechecking 2 Bolts defenders and got knocked over? Yeah, can't be. Was a dive. What a rat. /sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
