In the match between the Colorado Avalanche and the Vancouver Canucks, Avalanche forward Ross Colton drew a penalty using questionable tactics.
Canucks head coach Rick Tocchet expressed his dissatisfaction with the call, and many agree with his sentiment.
Following the incident, NHL Network radio announcer Steve Kouleas took to social media to single out Colton, labeling him as "the biggest diver in the NHL".
While other players like Tim Stutzle of the Ottawa Senators and Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins have been known to take dives, Colton's actions appear to be particularly blatant.
Fans hope that referees will become more vigilant about penalizing Colton for embellishment in the future.
