OK, hockey fans... A Colorado Avalanche player was fined $2,000 this week for "embellishment". What the heck is that??

Sounds like something that Nacluth or Tall Texan would do when describing a lackluster Lumberjacks game.

We'd never do such a thing.

Not a hockey fan, but here you go. Hockey in person is fun.

Diving (also called embellishment) is a term used in ice hockey to describe a player trying to get the attention of the referee by embellishing an infraction from an opposing player in an attempt to draw a penalty.

Oh, you mean like what is done a dozen times in EVERY pro soccer game ever played. Now I understand. Thanks, 76.

Exactly.
