Embellishment seems to the hot topic of the day , Blame Bill Barber this stuff has been going on for decades . The way to fix this is very simple and People have been saying it forever, call the embellisher only . The way you could really get rid of it multiple the punishment to repeat offenders 🤷♂️

The way you could really get rid of it multiple the punishment to repeat offenders 🤷♂️ Thoughts Totally agree with calling the embellisher only. It really is a bit of an art though and we know we have some guys that are pretty good at it too (Marchand, Pasta). In real time, they can be rather convincing so I think it's a tough one for the refs to call sometimes in the moment. Also, it does kind of open the door for just one more thing the refs will fuck up at the most inopportune moments. I can definitely see an embellishment call being made on a guy that wasn't embellishing and it costing a team the game. Perhaps fines or even suspensions for really egregious ones that are reviewed after the fact? Perhaps a Department of Player Embellishment hah kind of like the DoPS. I even like the idea of a 5 minute major (or game misconduct instead maybe) for really egregious ones. That would put a stop to a lot of this shit really damn quick. I view diving as hugely disrespecting the game. It makes it a lot more like soccer which just isn't really hockey-like at all haha.

If it is embellishing then there is no penalty.

Have to think there were many others before the HOF’er Barber came on the scene and made it an art form. At least in his day they allowed guys to hook, hold and hack you all the way up the ice. Now a days you can’t even breathe on someone but yet the embellishments remain. Leave the refs out of it, they already have more than they can handle. Maybe a team fine of 100$ or so for that and too many men if you’re at fault might make one think twice.

All teams are guilty of it and needs to be stomped out it’s embarrassing. Maybe there is a way to embarrass them out of doing it like a trophy at the end of the year Oscar 🤷♂️

I couldn't even bare to watch the game last night. It absolutely sickens me to see Florida going deep again. I'll watch the WCF but I probably will steer totally clear of the ECF.

You got it Ory..Barber_Clark_Leach was Philly's top line for years but also had a strong 2nd line plus 2 lines of goons led by Dave Schultz known as The Hammer although I used to call him the Bearded Hammer, Don Seleski, Hound Dog Kelly etc...They were the Broad Street Bullies and in all my time watchiing hockey, they were the toughest I have ever seen.. Bill Barber was the best at diving but Clark was good at it too..He was alot tougher than Barber, Leach was the go to guy but all 3 could and did score 40 goals..Bobby Clark was their captain for years and was well respected by his teammates..

Mike Commodore
Massive mistake by the #Jets.
Scott Arniel is a loser. He’s been a loser his entire career. Got a chance years ago..his arrogance ruined everything..he’s spent the last 14 years with his nose up assholes & his lips wrapped around balls. #Loser
