Some argue the reffing is better than ever.

I disagree with them. Reffing is baffling. The best we can hope for is that
over the course of most games, it is roughly equally baffling by the end of
the game. I'm not sure how that's an improvement over the old system of
"even up" calls, but I'm assured it is! :|

Yeah. Well. I guess the thinking is that if they at least
_sometimes_ call the chintzy/baffling ones, it'll help make the
players more cautious _all the time_, because they can never really
know when one of the cheap little calls is coming. <shrug>

I guess I have to say I prefer that to making the chintzy/baffling
calls _all the time_, however. I mean, at least the inconsistency
does allow some flow into the game again, which to me is better than
each team having 10+ powerplays, as a more consistent officiating
standard would result in. :{
