The answer your question is yes I have been hit with many a goalie stick, fist, puck, fans any other thing a hockey player could be hit with, (bet you were hoping no one was hit with a stick before) don't agree in the least that Smyth didn't take a dive, and even the smallest "tap" hurts like an SOB, not at all, at least not in my experience, things seem to be different in your experiences but what can you do. I don't even know how you can deny the fact that Smyth took a dive, the stick was so far from his face you could still see light.
