Start disciplining officials for consistently making horrible calls. I'm not saying fire the guy as soon as he makes a bad call but if he's constantly making terrible calls lower the amount of games he works. If it doesn't improve then you let him go.
Yes, we're all human and make mistakes but make too many and we have to face the consequences. NHL officials shouldn't be any different. And with a lot of these calls you can't even use the "the game is fast" excuse.
