Viktor Arvidsson Executes a Perfect Hockey Flop

The flop has long been considered an art form in sports.

Typically, we don't associate flopping with the NHL, but Viktor Arvidsson would like to change that perception.

The Nashville Predators forward and budding thespian performed his one-man show recently in St Louis against the Blues.

Reviews were somewhat mixed:

As you can see, Arvidsson is a gifted performer who clearly subscribes to the method school of acting.

His performance was so convincing, St Louis coach Mike Yeo seemed to think that Arvidsson actually believed he'd been shot.

The officials were certainly sold, as they penalized the Blues' David Perron for imaginary slashing, giving Nashville a two-man advantage for two minutes.

Current Sacramento Kings GM Vlade Divac must have wept openly when he saw that footage.

As you can see, Divac has continued working for the cause.

In the meantime, Arvidsson has reportedly found a venue for his dance cycle.

He goes on after the Dude's landlord.
