Canadiens’ Coach’s Comments Raises Alarms as National Reporter Calls For Stricter NHL Referees

So, to be clear, a dive is when a player tries to draw action on an opponent despite no foul having occurred, while an embellishment is like an umbrella term for diving and a bunch of other things that essentially mean a player makes a foul look more serious than it was. Wilson seems to be an expert in the arena, much to the consternation of the opposition.

With the NHL itself having warned players against embellishments, alongside warm up interactions that the officials actually do take seriously, (vis a vis Cousins and Stolarz) Wilson and the Caps will probably not be able to get away with as many dives on Wednesday, but that still doesn’t give the Canadiens much space or time to make much of a comeback, but who knows what fate the Capital One Arena has in store?
