I don't know if it's college hockey as a whole or just the ECAC, but these matching infraction and embellishment calls are way too common, and I don't see them in the pros.

Frankly, I don't think you should be able to get embellishment if someone's committed a penalty in contacting you. Save it for true dives and faked injuries.

My favorite embellishment that didn't get called this year came after the major hit-from-behind RPI's Samec got on Mallott. Vanderlaan came over and gave Samec a shove immediately afterwards, and Samec's hands flew up unnecessarily as he flopped down. Vanderlaan got the retaliation penalty and Samec was leaving for the prior hit anyway.
