To call an embellishment is one thing, but for the ref to take a power trip and kick Gaudreau out is laughable. Grow a thicker skin you #####.
The thing about embellishments is that they're conscious decisions in response to some prior event, so, on a slow-mo replay, there's an obvious delay. That wasn't there on the high stick - Johnny's head movement was an immediate, reflexive response to actually getting hit.
