10:30 AM ET 05.19 | Phoenix Coyotes Coach Dave Tippett appeared to take a dive on his diving charge. Thursday Tippett felt the Kings were well suited to be playing near Hollywood, given their acting abilities, saying "more than one penalty" against his team "were plays where there was embellishment." Friday Tippett said his comments weren't "geared toward that game last night." So was there embellishment by the Kings during the game or by Tippett after it? Either this is a coach who has had enough of players taking a dive or someone's team is down 3-0 in the Western Conference finals.

The real trick was getting the Pens to lose in time to go there.

The Pens looked more than happy to tank that playoff series. They did everything in their power to lose.

One might think the Cup finals aren't that high on the Russki list.

it seems a little late to be seeking an edge. Go Kings.

Tippett's expression never seems to change. Just every once in awhile the camera zooms in on him after the Kings score and he mumbles something like "eff me" to himself.
THE BISHOP!

Might be true, might not. Kings are outplaying you either way.

They had a chance to install a submarine diving horn at the arena, but alas it's seems too late.

Dave, you seemed to have forgotten one of the best acting performances turned in by your own Mike Smith. For a while there it looked like the roof of Jobing Arena would need to be opened for careflight.......but he finally recovered and pitched a shutout the rest of the way. Now that's acting.
