C'mon, missed calls are annoying, but they don't decide games

All it comes down to is: what is a penalty? If it's defined, then why is it a penalty now but not later? I don't think the time of game should come into play. But since it does, it's frustrating when it is only on one side. And it looks VERY bad on the refs to miss the exact same calls they made mere seconds earlier, I don't even think it's arguable. A penalty is a penalty and the refs get way too much leeway, to get away with so blatantly missing the exact same call you called 30 seconds ago. How many officials are there on the ice? Are they not bound to a book of rules? Or can they just make up whatever rules they want on the fly? Too many judgement calls, should be by the book. Not like it's ever gonna change, though.
