There needs to be a massive overhaul for refs in the offseason when it comes to enforcing embellishment. This is an utter fucking joke
It’s just confusing – if he got cross-checked, how is falling down embellishing?
I think it had to do with him laying on the ice afterwards. Not a good call, but I noticed he did embellish a bit after he went down.
TIL it’s a penalty to be blindsided with a cross-check in the back and not stay on your feet.
« One of the worst calls I’ve ever seen » – Wayne Gretzky
Refs should be forced to take a cross-check themselves to see how they react before calling an embellishment. That is such a garbage call.
this angle doesn’t show him playing dead on the ice
He definitely stayed down on the ice longer than he should have. He’s also been called for embellishment before. This is his 3rd this season. This is absolutely a reputation call. I don’t think they called it because he went down
Keep telling me the refs aren’t briefed on how shit has to play out because the league wants to see Canada and McDavid in the SCF.
We’re the only team this keeps getting called on. Five times in the post-season. I’m so fucking sick of seeing power plays turned into 4 on 4s.
Yeah not a good embellishment call.
Can’t stand marchment
Welcome to playing against the Oilers. Go straight to the penalty box, do not pass go, do not get a call for having your captain high sticked in the face and have your player suspended for something an Oilers player does less than 10 seconds after and doesn’t even get fined for.
The more guys dive, the more embellishment calls there will be.
The more embellishment calls there are, the more bad embellishment calls there are.
Bad call yes, but the more they « focus » on embellishment, the more bad calls we’ll get. This won’t be the last.
Getting downvoted in my native sub (Oilers) for saying this call wasn’t good.
This is what is called the Mc Jesus effect.
I’m here for the embellishment calls. Fucking Oilers are egregious violators. Gonna catch the odd innocent party but will get that bitch Bouchard at some point for flopping and flailing.
How about they call every cross check? Seems like a simple solution.
Should be a cross check or an embellishment. Not both.
How do you take the refs seriously after these playoffs?
F’n NHL refs are some of the absolute worst in the professional leagues. It’s not just the double standard between regular/playoff games but the blatant ‘turn a blind eye’ to the foul right in front of you.
The reffing in this league is a fucking joke.
Edmonton are dirty fucking bastards and the NHL is complicit
My back fucking hurt watching that so idk how it’s an embellishment but hey refs be crazy
How is this embellishment ? If you get randomly hit from behind, pushed while walking when you’re not expecting it, anythin at all then you’re gonna fall?
No way in hell was this guy ready for this hit? Anyone would lose their balance.
TIL that you can be penalized by getting cross checked.
Neymar did not die for this
And they say coming out and critiziing the refs in a post game interview doesn’t do any good
NHL refs are complete morons
NHL has to protect their investment
Hear me out. I think the embellishment is actually after Marchment falls. If you watch the other angle that they showed during the game (not shown here) he just lays on the ice like he got knocked out. I kind of agree with the call from that point of view.
Start handing out fines to the refs!
Disgraceful call. Ref should be shot with a ball of his own shit 💩
It was how he laid face down to sell it
The league has to act on this before the next round. This is getting ridiculous.
I feel like giving an embellishment penalty on a play that you actually called a penalty on the other guy is an inherently flawed concept
i think it was him laying on the ice for a while, if he gets up quick it would be fine
Playoff reffing has always been crap. If it’s a penalty on the regular season it should be a penalty on the playoffs.
They need to perhaps find a balance somewhere in the middle. No light stuff on the regular season and no letting crap go in the playoffs. It’s absolutely ridiculous and has been since forever. Goonery wins a cup, not talent. Yes, to play hockey you need to be tough and suck it up sometimes, but it shouldn’t be a complete overhaul of the rules because it’s the playoffs.
I didn’t see any embellishment, although I did enjoy the hard cross check to a Dallas player.. Kinda serves them right for what they do. Lol!!
Fucking awful call
I said in our game thread I know he’s going to be under a microscope because he has been theatric in the past, but my larger issue is how does that negate a cross check in the eyes of the rule makers?
Falling down too much is penalized to the same degree of blindside blows to guys with your stick. Got it.
I tend to give officials benefit of the doubt but holy fuck this is nuts
These refs this playoffs are absolutely sickening. My 2 year old nephew could ref better….
Oilers still can’t win with the league helping them 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 fucking losers
How is there both a cross check AND embellishment? Either he did cross check him or he didn’t.
That was the worst embellishment call I’ve ever seen
