The Vancouver Canucks beat the Vegas Golden Knights 5-2 on Tuesday, evening up their second-round series at one game apiece. You would think digesting that loss would be enough to call it a night, but Golden Knights forward Jonathan Marchessault was just getting started.
In a series of now-deleted Instagram comments, Marchessault replied angrily back at various hockey fans calling him a diver.
Warning: This has terrible, awful language. If you are a small child, you should X out of this website immediately and put your hands over your eyes.

In case people aren’t sure why @JMarchessault18 is melting down on Twitter, this is what everyone is going after him for. Tapped on left hand, throws up stick and right hand and yells to get a soft call. #nhldives pic.twitter.com/2TeCIVcRYE

Marchessault has been accused of diving for years now, but last night’s spree of comments came from an incident during the second period of Game Two. Canucks forward JT Miller hooked Marchessault in the hands while trying to dig the puck out of the corner. While this is a penalty, Marchessault flamboyantly throws up his stick and hands trying to sell a call.
Hockey fans took to Marchessault’s latest Instagram post to criticize the play and he… did not take it well.
Marchessault peppers vulgar language and phrases in his comments back. The theme of his replies is that people are wasting his time.
One commenter asked Marchessault how his Olympic diving career is going. “Shut the f*%$ lil d%$^ and go suck on your mummy’s [redacted] and stop wasting my time,” Marchessault replies.
Another commenter asks Marchessault if he plays soccer. “Your dog is as ugly as you !! Don’t waste my time again”

For the record, this commenter’s dog is adorable.
Another commenter on a different photo said that Marchessault’s four kids were divers “just like their daddy.”
Marchessault replies, “Don’t talk about my kids like that ! You ugly b&*%$ !!”

Marchessault, a native of Quebec, even replied angrily to people in French.
This is the third time that Marchessault has gone off on people for saying he dives on his IG this year. Here’s one from the round robin. In French, roughly translates to “you’re a disgrace to the province of QC” and Marchessault responds with “you too cause you’re ugly” pic.twitter.com/dpgRvKXQ1B

If there is one lesson we can all take away from tonight, it’s to not waste Jonathan’s time. Ever.
If there is one lesson to be taken out of tonight, it's to never, and I mean never, waste Jonathan Marchessault's time.

PS – Jonathan Marchessault is the same guy that mocked the Capitals’ hot laps during the Stanley Cup Final and was once a teammate of Brendan Leipsic.
