Reffing has had some real low points this season.  Last night was HIDEOUSLY officiated game.  Hopefully they get it back on the rails, but I don't have too much faith.  I remember during one of the 24/7 episodes a guy took a solid shot after running the goalie.  The ref explained to him that because he ran the goalie, the other guy gets a free shot then he escorted him to the penalty box.  This is exactly how this type of situation should be handled, and it provides a sound deterrence.  If this is not the standard call by the ref, why not just torpedo ram the goalie once in a while just to keep everyone on their toes?
