Tim Stutzle, a former 3rd overall pick, is highly regarded for his exceptional skills and is expected to have a promising career in the NHL.
Tim Stutzle Embarrasses Himself Against the Leafs
However, there is a notable concern surrounding his game that has been a persistent annoyance, particularly with the frequency of penalties he draws.
Stutzle has gained a reputation for being a diver, and this aspect of his game has not earned him the best recognition.
In case you're unfamiliar with this element of his playing style, you can observe some of his actions:
Last night's game showcased another instance of Stutzle's infamous reputation, as he was involved in a play with Leaf's defenseman Mark Giordano.
Despite Giordano's minimal contact on the puck, Stutzle was sent soaring through the air and remained suspended for a significant period, adding to the growing list of examples that highlight his diving tendencies.
Was he off-balance? Maybe. Did he catch a rut in the ice? Perhaps. But there are far too many examples of this kid throwing himself through the air and down to the ice to give him the benefit of the doubt. It's becoming downright embarrassing to watch.
