Michael Bunting has a reputation around the NHL of being a bit of a diver. Bunting has an drawn criticism for being a rat, who isn't afraid of embellishing to try and get a call. That reputation has begun to haunt him as it means more and more referees refuse to give him a call.
Late in the 2nd period of tonight's game, Bunting was the victim of a cross check to the face by Brandon Carlo. The play left him cut, but the referee made no call on the play.
The non-call set Bunting off, who on the bench absolutely blew his fuse. Bunting snapped his stick, screamed at the referee and showed off the damage caused by the stick.
