Whether Brown dived or took advantage of a young and frustrated player, or both, is besides the point to me. Everything evened out in the end, as usual.

When Doan boarded Lewis, Brown’s arms went up in outrage to draw the referees’ attention (which they don’t like), and it was only seconds after he had done the exact same thing on a play where he was slashed. Both penalties were going to be called anyway. I think the referees were making a point to Dustin Brown, that being “We’re not blind and we are perfectly capable of calling the game ourselves. If you want to show us up, then we will be happy to let you sit in the box for two minutes.”

As this was not their literal explanation and I haven’t heard anyone else suggest it, I don’t think they got their point across, but I heartily believe it’s what happened there.

They should have just called Brown for unsportsmanlike conduct on that very play. If I was reffing it, I would have.
