This does two important things: it shows the public what is and isn’t a penalty and it shows the nhl is reviewing and holding officials accountable.
I think one question that needs to be answered is are we sure we want the same penalty standard all the time? The number of 5 on 3s will dramatically increase as will penalties in the last two minutes of a game.

I think a lot of this anger is misplaced. I suspect a lot of how the game is reffed is instructed from the league which comes from Team owners/GM's. I think we see the game management as that is what the teams want. Yah they get mad over individual calls here and there but the overall calling of the game comes from the top.
