NEW YORK -- Montreal Canadiens defenceman P.K. Subban has been fined $3,000 for diving.

It's the not the first time this season Subban has had to dip into his pocket for embellishing.

He also had to pay up in January after incurring two warnings for diving.

A third citation over an incident on March 12 against the Senators triggered another fine.

If he gets another warning this season, he will be fined an additional $4,000 and Habs head coach Michel Therrien will have also have to pay a $2,000 penalty.


:flop:
 
A far as flopping in soccer versus hockey:


While the percentage of power plays in hockey that result in a goal is lower than soccer penalty kicks, from what I've seen, soccer players flop all over the pitch and the reward: a free kick from the middle of the field somewhere - it's probably less impactful than a hockey power play.

But then in soccer there is the additional factor of hoping to draw a yellow/red card.


Similar nefarious motivations overall, I would say.
 
Nice stuff guys on diving. Thanks!

So basically since hockey doesn't have yellow cards they fine the coach and players. I liked that they also fined the coach. I wish they do that in soccer. Maybe if the coach gets penalized the players will be less willing to flop because the coach could chew them in the lockers if he is losing money in fines.

Ex-Habs coach Tremblay slags Subban during DUI arrest


Former Montreal Canadiens coach and player Mario Tremblay is facing allegations that he made a derogatory remark about the teams current star defenceman, P.K. Subban, after he tried in vain to talk his way out of a drunk-driving arrest.

Tremblay told a police patroller who stopped him for speeding that he was showing poor judgment, just like Subban, Le Journal de Montral is reporting.

The revelation came out during testimony Thursday in a suburban municipal court near Montreal.

According to Le Journal, Constable Maxime Perron, a police officer in the town of Mascouche, told the court that he intercepted Tremblay on Jan. 25, driving at 79 kilometres per hour in a 50 zone.

The police officer testified that even though Tremblay was chewing gum there was a smell of alcohol on his breath.

Perron said Tremblay protested when the officer asked for a breathalyzer test.

You cant do that to me, I am Mario Tremblay, Perron quoted the former coach as saying.

Perron said Tremblay then started insulting him when he placed him under arrest.

He compared me to some hockey players, [saying] that I was like `a P.K. Subban, that I had no judgment and that I was being petty.

He said Tremblay also made a finger gesture as if he was zipping up his lips to indicate he wouldnt cooperate with the breathalyzer test.

A scrappy forward nicknamed The Bionic Blueberry, Tremblay played 12 seasons with the Canadiens, including the four Stanley Cup winning teams of the late 1970s.

He also coached the team in the 1990s, during a two-season stint mostly remembered for his clashes with Patrick Roy which eventually forced the team to trade the celebrated goaltender.
