Marcus Foligno chases down referee to plead his case after embellishment call
Marcus Foligno is a very proud man. He's someone who isn't afraid to drop the gloves and plays the game the right way on every shift. That's why when a referee called him for embellishment he was incensed by the call.
During the 2nd period below the Wild's goal line, Marcus Foligno is tripped by Adam Henrique. As Henrique's stick makes contact with Foligno's skate, Foligno falls to the ice. On the play Foligno spins around the referee from center ice isn't having any of it.
The back referee immediately whistles the play dead and called both Henrique (Tripping) and Folgino (Embellishment) for 2 minute penalties.
As the penalty is called Foligno is furious at the call and immediately rushes to center ice to dispute the penalty. Does Foligno have a case? Or did he embellish?
