As it was, I felt the refs blew the only penalty that they DID call all game...they missed a clear checking from behind, but tagged Bollig for roughing when he stepped up to defend his teammate, which wouldn't have been necessary, if they HAD made the call.

You are correct, the change in the way the game was officiated as the game went on is a major problem. The Sharks' tying goal should not have counted since Pavelski cross checked Hjalmarsson near the crease just before the goal. Later in the final period, the referees missed calls to both teams.
