Deboer doesn't get fined for talking around perceived bad calls, while Cassidy speaks more directly and does get fined...I guess that's the NHL for you. "They're bad calls...but I don't blame the refs, they're just bad calls"...so wait, what? You're criticizing the refs just the same..."You suck at your job, but I don't blame you"

DeBoer's point seems to be that players got so good at embellishing that for the refs it's beyond human abilities to tell a real penalty from a dive/sell job.
