Mikko Rantanen Fined For Diving/Embellishment

May 6, 2021 at 2:08 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 4 Comments

The NHL has issued a $2,000 fine to Colorado Avalanche forward Mikko Rantanen for diving/embellishment, meaning that he has been flagged twice this season for the act. The league issued a warning following the first such incident, which occurred on March 23 against the Arizona Coyotes. The second happened on April 30 against the San Jose Sharks–an incident which resulted in a tripping penalty for Mario Ferraro–triggering the fine.

For Rule 64, the supplementary discipline is on a graduated scale that also includes fines for a head coach:

While Jared Bednar is certainly not going to bench a player like Rantanen, costing the coach money is never a good idea. The league will be keeping a close eye on the Colorado star and his teammates for the rest of the season. Coach fines start kicking in after four are issued to either one player or a club collectively.

      Panarin didn’t try to get between Wilson and another Ranger or deescalate the situation. Jumping on someone’s back is saying I want to fight you. Panarin became the instigator of a new fight at that point and takes his chances.

    If there is a penalty actually called for tripping I still can’t wrap my head around how they can add a diving penalty to the person tripped. I could understand if thee is no penalty called, I can definitely see calling a diving penalty if a player goes down anyway. If the ref was going to call the trip anyway, what difference does it make? If the dive/embellishment is what caused the ref to call the trip, then the diver should be penalized and there should be no tripping call made.
