NHL Player Slammed with Fine for Diving Incident In a move that reflects the league's growing emphasis on cracking down on unsportsmanlike conduct, Anaheim Ducks forward Beckett Sennecke has been hit with a $2,000 fine. The penalty, handed down as supplementary discipline under NHL Rule 64 (Diving/Embellishment), is the latest example of the league's efforts to curb the practice of flopping, or exaggerating contact to deceive referees into calling penalties. The move is likely to be seen as a warning to other players who engage in similar behavior, as the NHL continues to seek a more honest and competitive game. Sennecke's fine marks the latest development in the league's ongoing campaign to promote cleaner play and deter players from taking shortcuts to gain an advantage.
