Truthfully, it's a little strange to see a player get fined almost a week after the event occurred. The Hurricanes also have played another game since then, as they took on the Tampa Bay Lightning on November 9th.

When reviewing the play, though, it is rather apparent that DeAngelo does in fact dive. Although Gustav Forsling's stick makes contact with DeAngelo, it wasn't enough to naturally warrant him to lose his balance that dramatically.

Do you feel DeAngelo's dive was worthy of a fine? Let us know in the comments!
