I am not a fan of the two distinct referee standards between regular season and playoffs. I'm not a fan of "just let them play" in the playoffs. I've seen plenty of exciting games during the regular season, where things got called as they should be, to know that if they referee in the playoffs like they do in the regular season, it'll still be exciting. You can't have a "let them play" approach but then call X penalty but not Y penalty. But I'm sure to the average TV audience fan, they probably don't care/pick up on that as much.
Anyways, mini ramble rant done.
