Johnny Gaudreau ejected for arguing embellishment call

[Chairman Maouth]

he was not ejected for embellishment. change the title

From the article.

Gaudreau, after already taking a skate to the throat earlier in the game, was high-sticked in the neck by Blake Comeau, prompting him to flinch (WATCH HERE). For some reason (We’re assuming referees are particularly sensitive to heads snapping back), he was assessed an embellishment penalty. Then, he started arguing the call from the penalty box and the refs threw him out of the game with a 10-minute misconduct.

If you have another source maybe you can post it. Thanks.

I already changed the title, because it said "Johnny Gaudreau ejected for embellishment", which isn't as accurate as the new title.

Cryin Johnny at it again.

Terrible refs make situation worse by being babies

 

[djpatm]

His whining from last year caught up to him. He's been a lot better this season.

Absolute BS call though and he had every right to lose it on the bench. The refs were terrible all game.

I wish Gaudreau wouldn't have lost it like that, but what are you going to do. What was he doing really? I mean years ago you'd have star players breaking their sticks over the glass.

So basically, the guy is under a microscope. And for some reason the small player can't act out otherwise he's a whiner. Yet shit, a year ago he had his hand broken from a slash and his hands are his bread and butter. So again, meh, give the guy a break. He's still one of the best in the game right now.

One of the most poorly officiated games I've seen, and I've seen a lot of them. They gave Tanner Glass a penalty earlier for throwing a basic body check.

Johnny had every right to be upset, this is a professional league, you'd expect the people in charge of enforcing the rules to make more good calls than bad. Too many games that is simply not the case.

I think they were sick of being yelled at after tkachuk and gully were ripping into them for tkachuks penalty which was pretty clearly a penalty

He wasn't ejected. He received a 10 min misconduct. Please change the title again until you can get it correct.

He did get kicked out though. 2 min for embellishment plus 10-min misconduct with 11:55 left in the 3rd is the same as getting kicked out.

he was kicked out for arguing the call.

The way players like Gaudreau and McDavid are treated in regards to obstruction and slashing is a travesty. The league should be embarrassed.

 

[Duffalufagus]

worst call I've seen all year. But that ref shat the bed the entire game. This is what you gt when there is no accountability. The league should have to answer for crap like this.

 

[dmj616]

This proves he shouldn't be in the Top 10 discussion.

 

[karnige]

definitely the wrong call by the ref but when you have a reputation for embellishment it will happen

I agree.

The thing is, before Johnny had his hand broken last year with a slash, his hands were being targeted constantly. After his hand healed and he came back the league seemed to crack down for awhile, most of the rest of the season. But then this year I've noticed it again more and more. Constant whacks on the hands. And I'm sure most of the star players get this, but it gets old when it keeps happening and then Johnny's reacting and supposedly getting a reputation. It seems like a no win situation.

 

[Cellee]

Reputations are dumb, just call it as you see it.

They did.

What's the point here? The title was already talked about by several people. Stop beating a dead horse and post something productive to the topic.

It was a bad call, but bad calls happen all the time. I'd be curious to know what exactly was said to the official, if the line was actually crossed or if it was more just of not letting it go.

Everyone loves when players show some emotion. You know, because they are the attraction fans come to see. Nobody wants to see the refs act on theirs, they should be held to a higher standard in that regard.

 

[Big Erned Nevergivn]

I get people who are talking about Gaudreau whining, he did a lot of that his first few years and has gotten a lot better this year. However I don't know where this reputation for embellishment came from... he's had one other embellishment call on a trip, a trip that he didn't even fall down on and continued play.

Reffing is this game was brutal, but the way Gully and Johnny acted as a result was no better. That being said I would have reacted the same if I was in that position.

 

[DJJones]

Refs had been awful for two games in a row.

Calling them f***ing morons was the right call. I would have done exactly the same thing.

Maybe Gully should have been the one to say it but it needed to be said.

 

[flamesforcup]

Never should have won the byng. He's a classless diver

Lol did u even see the video.

He bitched to the refs and got a misconduct. Seems like the correct call to me.

 

[Uberdachen]

And why should he have "shut up about it"?

Chance of changing the call: 0%
Chance of worsening situation: Greater than 0%

 

[TGWL]

He *****ed to the refs and got a misconduct. Seems like the correct call to me.

The embellishment was a bad call.

super like. swipe right. THIS SO MUCH.

Gaudreau saw 2 of his teammates this game already get penalties this game for not shutting the f*** up. what did he honestly think was going to happen. let his emotions hurt his team.
