Player Prompt

If my player was grazed in the face with a stick, he would probably perform a knee-jerk reaction, twisting his head and reaching up for his face.  If a penalty was not called, he would probably raise his hands in protest to the referee briefly before getting back to the play.  After the play, the forward would skate over to the ref and talk about the play, asking him why a penalty wasn't called.  According to the rule, high sticking is high sticking, so I would protest my case and probably complain more regardless of what the ref said.  As far as diving, the Kelowna forward probably would not do it, except in cases of tripping where the player's balance was already slipping.  The centermen from the United States plays hard and definitely wants his team to gain an advantage, but he plays the game honestly, and any form of embellishment would be legitimate in some way.  Sticking to the rules is the way to go, but there may be a lot of complaining along the way, especially when a blown call is made.
