Shooting while falling then immediately getting up is embellishment? Interesting.

Refs should be disciplined for calls that bad.
wankonobie
Absolute dog shit of a call lol

Gosh that was call was so bad

They need to change the rule. If a penalty is ruled to have been embellished by the fouled player, then the referee can allow play to continue rather than penalize both players. There can be a gesture for it to show the referee saw a penalty but ruled embellishment.

I hadn’t seen that before. Thats embarrassing.

His goal counted on June 6 2022, so that makes up for it.

This might be the worst call I’ve ever seen and I’m not joking

I hate this… cause it’s « correct » and why I hate hockey’s Embellishment rules.
before the goal there’s no call for a hook(at least from a ref on screen, might have been an Advantage from one off screen?) if it’s a played advantage the penalty would be declined, but because of how embellishment works they aren’t allowed to decline a penalty they didn’t want.
people joke about how Goaltender Interference makes no sense, but hockey’s embellishment rules are WAAAY dumber

Jesus. Even Leafs fans can agree that’s a terrible call.

C’mon, Arturirious?

Gotta be the worst embellishment call of all time. Normally they call the embellishment along with the initial « penalty ». This being one of the rare time they only call the dive makes it even more crazy.

The only embellishment was the call

I remember that game, the crowd was so mad it was crazy.

That was clear embellishment guys, y’all blind
Zeer0Fox
Wow terrible call
cheeba2992
He dives like Neymar

Clearly the ref was paid off by Ottawa /s
On a serious note: I wonder how the ref feels after making that call. Prob have nightmares or some kinda PTSD.

Don’t worry he’ll make up for it later in the game 😂
Band_o_Brothers
Watched this live. Still the most stunned I’ve ever been as a hockey fan. Just the wrong call entirely.

obligatory fuck the habs but god damn they got jobbed on this one that’s tough

Damn refs. Player lost his footing. Give him the goal and move along.

Believe it or not but if referees did this in my country, straight to jail
No trial, straight to jail

That’s top goal material, idc what the refs say

‘magine if they called back Bobby Orr’s goal like this?
TaxOnMyFaceBigDaddy
This is the worst post 90s call I’ve ever seen

I’m surprised I’m in the minority on this tbh but if you flop like a soccer player you deserve what u get. Canadiens living up to their rep

I don’t really see how you can justify this in anyway; embellishment implies intent, but the fact that he’s shooting it as he falls kinda shows his intent was to shoot the puck, not to draw a penalty

I’m pretty new to hockey, sorry if it’s a dumb question. In nfl and nba refs have to explain questionable calls and whatnot. Do nhl refs do that ?

Wes McAuley sucks at reffing.

That was a dumb call, boys

Holy shit that’s retarded. He didn’t stop playing for even a split second. Just lost his balance as he was driving through a guy holding him by the midsection and then letting go.
durdensbuddy
Horrible call, blind refs.
VegitoFusion
Firstly, I really love the NHL for having an embellishment penalty. It adds a massive amount of respect to the game. This was probably an incorrect call to make because he kept trying to play through the contact.

Worst fans in the league… bunch of babies

I think this is the right call because it was against Montreal.
aZombieSlayer
Imagine Bobby Orrs iconic goal getting called back for embellishment?
ConfidenceLower9155
Atrocious call

He may have lost the goal, but at least he got a Golden Globe.

Seeing this from a couple of seasons ago makes me really appreciate how consistent the officiating has been since then. It’s like a nice even, smooth floor.

The league and refs obviously hate Montreal.

This is the first time I’ve seen this.
Its one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen, full stop.
