Chucky actually takes a lot of abuse every game that doesn't get called. I guess it's because of the way he plays and that's fine, but some of those calls have to be made. I know you hear the refs don't like being "shown up" by players like Chucky when he sells a call (yes he sells, but he does get legitimately chopped and hacked fairly consistently), but he takes a lot! The interference non-call, the slash to the back of the leg, the cross check at the very end... and to his credit, he very rarely beaks the refs. He usually takes it and doesn't talk too much to the refs which is definitely respectable.
I just think his "rat" reputation stops a lot of calls from going his away, even though he does draw a LOT of calls still. Refs need to recognize that he's actually a skill player and they need to lake those calls because he's not some 4th line plug just trying to get under people skin.
