Tavares takes a penalty on an obvious dive by Tkachuk

10/10 dive from Brady here...

Trevor Connors

The puck has dropped on Game 3 of the opening round playoff series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Ottawa Senators and... surprise, surprise... tempers are flaring early. 

The two teams have been at each others' throats since the moment the puck dropped with plenty of rough stuff in between the whistles.


Factoring into things, of course, is Sens captain Brady Tkachuk. The fiery Tkachuk seems to find himself in the middle of seemingly every physical exchange but it was drawing of a penalty that has generated the most attention so far this evening.

Check out Tkachuk taking a 10/10 dive in front of the Leafs' net after receiving a hook from Leafs forward John Tavares:


Now, don't get me wrong...

Is it a hook? Absolutely.

But does Brady have to whip his head back like he just got rear ended in traffic?

C'mon...

Two for hooking, two for the dive... that's what I would have liked to see.

Thoughts, Sens fans?
