HOCKEY PROMPT 

People faking penalties happens in every sport, some more than others (looking at you soccer and basketball) but it is still fairly common in hockey. Someone getting penalized for something for they did against you gives your team an immediate advantage which means people will try to abuse it. At least in hockey, that's where embellishment comes in, refs can penalize people for faking an injury or acting like whatever the opponent did was way worse than it actually was. It's not called very often in hockey but I still think it's a good thing, it prevents people from trying to cheat their way into a win, "sportsmanship" isn't enough to keep people from gaming the system. The main problem with it though is it's very subjective from a referee perspective, what is an embellishment? who can tell who is actually faking or not? it will drastically change from ref to ref (but I guess all penalties are kind of like that). Hopefully these calls can eradicate players trying to cheat all together and they won't need to be called anymore.
