Well the league does defend officials from players embarrassing them with embellishment by not acknowledging it's a problem.
I used to get way more upset about it when the Canucks were leading the league with their diving antics and the Iginla led Flames were playing pretty honest. But in the last 6 years or so Giordano has embellished pretty regularly and now Gaudreau has come in and embellished, whined and dived as much as any star who does it.
It's a league wide problem that lays with the league for not caring that a good portion of their calls are actually embellishment , because that means they'd have to actually deal with something.
