well you get a powerplay for an offense against your team... a misconduct
is meant to penalize a player not his team.. the dive is simply
unsportsmanlike, with no insult to the other team... you take a scoring
opportunity away from a team, or injure one of its players, then that team
gets its scoring opportunity back in the form of a powerplay...

pretty wimpy hit from behind as well... but i am with you ... I would like
to see all hits from behind penalized wtih a maror, or a match penalty

I like it, because I dislike the alternative... the alternative is when they
never called hooking because they could never tell who was diving and who
was legitamately hooked....
