I feel like I barely see embellishment get called in the NHL anymore. Is that a good thing? A bad thing? Who knows. Maybe it's because of players being able to sell calls better or not be affected by them, or maybe it's because of referees not noticing or holding their whistles when someone's going down. It's probably necessary for referees to be aware of how most players react to being hit with things like high sticks or elbows/shoulders up high just to get a gauge on how they go down, but I understand the human element of it all and that you're not going to be able to get every call right all the time. As far as players in the NHL that have reputations for diving/embellishment, it feels like it's a very shallow pool of players. You would think that players who act sneaky and antagonize others (ex: Brad Marchand) would have more of a reputation for these kinds of calls, but they all seem pretty genuine about dealing with infractions. I know when PK Subban was around (but thankfully he never did this kind of stuff in NJ), he had a reputation of falling pretty easily in an attempt to sell things and would get fined for it at least once or twice per season.
