That embellishment call on Michkov was complete BS.
He took two crosschecks.
I think the call was made because he is getting that reputation around the league and it went against him on that call.
"We don't have a single embellishment all year. Sidney Crosby doesn't have an embellishment in 21 seasons... I disagree on that strongly."

Sidney Crosby speaks on his embellishment call and Bryan Rust's roughing penalty in the Penguins' Game 3 loss to the Flyers.

The Pens got the early lead on their 1st power play goal of the series but couldn’t hold it
The Rust-Konecny battle changed the fortunes for both teams. Giving the Flyers the PP out of the scrum was a joke, 6 guys in the box was a joke, & the Crosby embellishment call was a joke
I’ve never seen a fanbase cry more than the Philadelphia Flyers. I’ve had several of their fans tell me the Penguins are cheating. How are we cheating we’re down 3-0?
Barkey played 6:46 tonight. Michkov 8:08.
I know they don't kill penalties but it is time to put Bump and maybe Grundstrom in.
I am sure Tocc was pissed at that penalty by Michkov. He might be sitting in game 4.
