With one head-snap motion, Nick Bonino of the Pittsburgh Penguins reminded everyone about hockey's dirty little secret of embellishment.
Not the same kind of player flopping that occurs in, say, the NBA, and it's certainly not done at the same volume seen in soccer, where diving is used effectively at the highest levels even as it is ridiculed and (occasionally) penalized.
In hockey, exaggerating a potential penalty to get a call against the opponent has long been part of the game -- especially in the Stanley Cup playoffs, when everyone's looking for an edge -- and embellishment is simply reality even though the NHL has taken steps to stop it for more than a generation.
