People dive to get the call. Hockey is easily full of tough people who play through everything. But diving exists in the nhl, too, and there is a penalty for it called embellishment.

Someone once tested hockey players for pain tolerance vs baseball and basketball layers. The hockey players tested much higher, like due to the ‘shake it off’ ethos in hockey.

Soccer and hockey are two of the most skilled team sports in the world. The hate on here is such boomer level petty.

We all know this is true for most players.

I mean, if diving meant your team got the puck we would have way more players falling down. it’s just as silly out of context as hockey players needing to take a break and sit on the bench after 2 minutes.
there’s plenty of examples of soccer players playing with active injures. either cause their team already used their 3 subs or cause they can still play soccer with a broken bone cause they’re wearing a cast.

That’s how Matt Bradley looked all the time. Dude was a bleeder.

Hockey players have never dived or embellished ever.

They do but also play with broken bones and 100 ‘s of stitches so toughness isn’t up for a debate but soccer is grueling in other ways for sure

This is the most hockey 2012 meme lol

This is so stupid.
Soccer players are tough as nails. Yeah, a few are soft, but the vast majority bust ass. They run hard for 90+ minutes, and are constantly hacked at, shouldered, and clawed.

Hockey fans with the classic case of having a simultaneous inferiority/superiority complex.

Hockey players are the only athletes who cry about there being too much pressure on them, not really that tough are they?

Are there really fully grown adults who only watch one sport and pretend all others are somehow lesser?
I remember a version of this meme that had the Cisse injury from years ago, but cropped out was his leg hanging off with bone sticking out, it just showed the top half where he’s holding his face.
And, if we really wanna go there in terms of « toughness », then road cyclists make hockey players look soft.

Yes, I agree, Hockey culture is toxic in this way where men feel the need to affirm and assert their machismo through downplaying legitimate injuries.
Diving/simulations happen more often in football/soccer because it works to get a call. It’s about winning. Period.

I see someone hacked my folder of memes I saved in 2008 when I was a kid.

Imagine having to skate 60 minutes a game. No subs nothing.

Unless you are Max Domi, Tim Stutzle, Tristan Jarry, or the other thousand players to have faked a penalty on camera.
