Uhhh, you're a leafs fan so you may not know it, but that's exactly why the Canucks weren't getting legitimate calls their way during the SCF. The players in question are the usual suspects: Sedins, Burrows, Kesler, (and before the play-offs, for the last 2 seasons, Luongo which is why he wasn't getting much calls for contact around the crease).
Phantom calls does occur but make no mistake, when you're labelled an embellisher/diver/whiner.... referree's do wisen up to it.
Look at Crosby and how much abuse he now takes due to whining for every single contact... or better yet, how about the Burrowsgate which was initiated from an embellishment a few games before.
But don't tell Canucks fans this.
