Once again, the Ottawa Senators' forward Tim Stutzle got called out for exaggerating injuries. This time, by the former NHLer Jason Demers. Since he came in the NHL four years ago, Tim Stutzle was often criticized for exaggerating his reactions during games to get the referees attention and provoke a powerplay. It seems like he did it once again just a few days ago in a game against the Montreal Canadiens. He received a hit from Habs defenseman Arber Xhekaj that some people qualified as dirty at the time. Xhekaj hit him on the shoulder/chest area, and the only thing that touched his head was his own stick. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/HabsOnReddit/status/1841469519308427360'> </a></blockquote></div> Referees decided to give a game misconduct to Xhekaj, but the NHL confirmed that the defenseman wouldn't face further punishment for the hit. <a href='https://www.sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/senators-gm-staios-confirms-tkachuk-chabot-stutzle-not-seriously-injured/' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Even the Senators' general manager Steve Staios confirmed that Stutzle wasn't seriously injured on the play.</a> A lot of people shared their opinion on the situation, including the former NHLer Jason Demers. Demers played 700 games in the NHL between 2009 and 2023 for the San Jose Sharks, Dallas Stars, Florida Panthers, Arizona Coyotes and Edmonton Oilers. The former defenseman scored 214 points in his career before retiring last year. On X, he called Stutzle out for exaggerating with the following post: <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/jasondemers5/status/1841548281219862728'> </a></blockquote></div> The former player believes he'll lose the respect of people in the hockey world if he continues, but he already lost a lot. Over two years ago,<a href='https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/33684895/montreal-canadiens-brendan-gallagher-says-ottawa-senators-tim-stutzle-embellishes-injuries-calls-behavior-embarrassing' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'> Montreal Canadiens' Brendan Gallagher called him out publicly for embellishment.</a> With only a few days before the start of the NHL season, we should hear a lot more about Stutzle if he keeps playing that way.
