I honestly don’t think that embellishment is that bad of a tactic that you can use in sports. I’ve learned playing soccer growing up, that if you play through a foul it won’t be called most of the time, and again most of the time it leaves you in a worse place than you would be if you embellished a little bit. I think it’s the same for the NHL. Players could play through a lot of the penalties but it wouldnt give their team the advantage. In fact with the player prompt its mentioned the stick did in fact hit you, which even as small of contact, is high sticking. I think its perfectly fine to embellish a little bit. The issue comes when there was penalty at all and you try to draw one. Diving like that isn’t okay and should definitely be a 2 minute minor. The major difference for me is that its ok to embellish a little bit if you were actually fouled, but trying to get something out of nothing isnt okay.
