Ah, the duality of being a Leafs fan. On one hand, I get to lambaste Sens youngster Tim Stutzle for his Oscar worthy acting performance, on the other hand, doing so means I have to acknowledge that Brendan Gallagher was right when he talked about Stutzle less than 2 weeks ago.

Gallagher called out Stutzle's tendancy to "sell" calls, as well as his incredible ability to be horrifically injured one minute and playing on the ensuing powerplay the next.
If there's one thing Gallagher is known for, it's talking. So just about everything he says now is to be taken with a grain of salt, but in this case, he's 100% correct. Stutzle not only embellishes to get calls, he makes them up. In this case, skating up behind William Nylander, grabbing his arm and then stopping up to make it look like he was held back. The joke is not funny, Timmy and Will Smith should consider slapping you.
If Stutzle does't knock this type of play off soon, he'll quickly find himself getting the Nazem Kadri treatment where it takes a felony to earn a call. We know by now that referees give preferential treatment to players they like and suddenly develop vision issues for players they don't. Sens fans should be preparing for their german wunderkid to lose the ability to draw calls at all if this type of embarassing behaviour keeps up.
