I’m TELLING YOU. Institute a post-game review process. Fine players $10K a flop. that’s it. nothing else. review the tape, if it’s an egregious flop like THIS, give us $10K buddy. flopping is GONE in a month. it’s that simple.
When asked about Victor Wembanyama's 12 blocks in Game 1, Chris Finch said that at least 4 of the 12 were goaltends, and that it was "alarming" that Wembanyama wasn't called for a single goaltend.
"When we looked at em, at least four of them were goaltending... To me, it's a little alarming that none of them were called. Here's a generational shot blocker, who is 7'6", who goes after everything, and there's no heightened awareness that these blocks could be goaltends... So let's just say there were four, that's eight points. You know the value of eight points in an NBA game? It's massive. That's also 33% of his blocks were goaltending uncalled. If I were to give you a 33% raise, you'd like that, right?"
If you are going to intentionally foul not once but twice down 12 with 33 seconds...and shoot a 3 with 10.4 seconds (Murray could have dribbled the clock out)...you shouldn't be complaining about a layup at the end of the game. I'm just saying.
Wild need more from Kirill Kaprizov. I understand he had three points in a Game 1 win … it was a blowout. He was an absolute ghost in Game 3. No Zuccarello, I get it. But he makes $17 million starting next season. Not good enough tonight. You ask for that money, need more.
